Getting Inspired by Aimee Chalmers

This is the last think I knitted - at least fifteen years ago, made mainly from an old rope I picked up on the shore at Anstruther. It was dirty and smelly and I was quite embarrassed carrying it though the streets to the car. But, washed in the washing machine and untangled, it was like silk! 






And this is the wool I bought from Elena's Yarn and Fibre Studio in Perth. I was so excited to see it, perfect texture for rough moorland - the heather out... the pools of peaty water seeping into my boots. I must have it! I got so carried away I forgot I was supposed to be knitting a rectangle of sea!
