Scottish Adventures
Wayne and I have been traveling in Scotland with a Vogue Knitting tour group. Even though it’s a knitting-themed tour, Wayne has been enjoying himself as he’s exploring his Scottish roots while I've been visiting a variety of yarn stores and meeting incredibly talented designers. Wayne bought a kilt based on his ancestral tartan so it looks as though we'll both be wearing skirts soon! Although I have to say, a man in a kilt is solidly masculine!
On Wednesday we were at Johnstons of Elgin Cashmere Mill, a wool and cashmere factory. Our bus drove past several castles and stopped at Killiecrankie, a historic site with gorgeous views. Today we leave Glasgow and will depart for Iceland, which includes a dip in the famous Blue Lagoon.

There's just something about a man in a kilt.

Sounds like a wonderful trip. Enjoy! Maybe ideas for future books?
that is one great photo accompanying your blog. Do you think they would let you use that for your photo ID?
I am reading Daughter of the King by Carlene Havel and Sharon Faucheux (King Saul)and found there was knitting during Biblical days. I always pictured knitting during the medieval times. Sounds like a nice trip you had.
knitting in Biblical time is interesting. I may read that book.
Debbie, I tried the honey and soy sauce for a marinade on chicken tonight. I grilled the chicken. It was good. I may have to find a low sodium soy sauce.
I'm so jealous of your yarn store visits!
