Once in a while I swoon over the idea of doing something extraordinary for myself. I imagine it, consider it, then talk myself out of it. Recent events being buying a much-needed new car, or an upgraded smart phone.  Even pampering myself. But I decided this morning, while struggling with my hair to cooperate the style I chose, thinking I may need a trim for it to stay properly in place – I vowed at that I would do something spectacular for myself every other month or so in 2018.

A few days ago, I stumbled upon this article about a bit of history on Fair Isle Sweater making in Scotland and the three year wait for the product –  which I figured you’d find an interesting read on your commute home this evening or just before bedtime some happy thoughts, depending on where in the world you live. Happy Thursday – that’s all. Traditionally, Fair Isle knitting, a “stranded colorwork” technique used to create rows of intricate patterns, has been passed down through generations of families.
