Knitting on poncho as snow ❄️ continues to fall. I’ll share finished photos this week. Wool is Ito (colors #6, #15 and #40) from Noro Yarns and Kerry Woollen Mills, a Kerry Gold color, all medium weight wool, held with mohair and silk. This is my own original design for a poncho, a bit like a sweater without sleeves. @eisaku_noro @kerrywoollenmills_japan #knittersofinstagram #kerrywoollenmills
Irish American Story - “As a little girl I heard about Ireland, especially from my late father Martin J. Walsh Jr., as he is the first known member of my family to visit Ireland, making his trip in 1953. I learned of the Great Famine, and that my family emigrated to North America, first to Canada and on to the United States, to survive. Like many immigrants, the stories and fine details are missing for many reasons, one being two centuries of forgetting in order to make new lives in the new world. This is where I wanted to play my part in telling our story.” - Jannet Walsh, author, forthcoming book, "Higgledy-Piggledy Stones" scheduled for 2022 release, Shanti Arts Publishing.
