@Vik my other souvenir acquisition from the Scottish leg of our trip:
McGeorge cardigan. Easily my favorite knit of all time.
-
@Mizmazzle I can see why! The leather knot buttons are delicious as well

@Vik is that an IHSH-37 you’re wearing in your avatar? Possibly my fave IH shirt of all time!!
It's the IHSH-262-NAV

Sharing my most recent addition to the ever growing collection of knitwear - bought, not handmade this time round.
Fell in love with the relatively tight gauge and the completely raw Spanish eco wool, if you look really closely, you can still see specs of hay and straw poking out.
This puppy (Babaa jumper no. 15) is getting plenty of wear in these cold temps. -
@Vik Here is a place that I went to 30ish years ago and bought a sweater from. They used to raise their sheep and harvest the wool to make sweaters. Everything was done in house a long time ago.
On the site they have a myriad of different sweaters to view/kits to purchase/etc.
Hopefully it might help a little: https://philosopherswool.ca/colourways/

Don’t laugh, but I understand if you do….
Has been huge from the start and I don’t know what I was thinking at the time. Love it though and it’s like wearing a comfort blanket. @Vik Extremely soft now and can’t bear the thought of passing it on (although I should because of the size).
