Just in from finishing the logs and it's only just falling dark (18:21). Spring is wonderful.
Thanks to Bill for making me think more about woollen garments.
Re jumpers/jerseys/sweaters, I realise that we over here in the Old World have three particularly special ones associated with islands: the
Aran, the
Fair Isle and the
Guernsey.
Jersey is also an island, of course.
Fascinating stuff and lots to learn. I had wondered whether I should take up knitting when I'm not so busy. The only person in our family who knits/knitted was my grandfather, also an islander, who made his socks. My dad just mended his own clothes.
