I don’t know much about knitting, or even ‘Scottish knitting history’ (looks way cool though), but I do know I was given my father’s Harris tweed jacket as an inheritance. I’ve never been cold while wearing it!
She has a few crochet patterns on her blog site as well, if you do that.
After years of crochet, I just started knitting seriously about a year ago and I’m really enjoying it.
In addition to the sentimental factor, that Harris tweed jacket sounds fabulous!
