In Khiva everyone knits chunky slippers for sale - they’re very colourful and, in case you’re wondering, I might have bought a pair or three!

One of many tile work patterns in Khiva - I’m finding plenty of inspiration here!

Silk carpet loom at the museum of applied arts in Tashkent. I’m loving the colours of the textiles!

I’m visiting Uzbekistan where there are wonderful local handicrafts - I think there may be some retail therapy in between the sightseeing!

I’m pleased to announce that my new Maria Donato top is now live on Ravelry! Featuring mosaic colourwork inspired by Romanesque architecture from Murano, this top was on display at EYF last week on the @border_mill stand and so many people asked me about the design when I was wearing mine around the show! Shown here in The Border Mill Alpaca Tweed Silk (green/mauve version) and Rowan Felted Tweed (blue/pink version). #mariadonatotop #eyf2019 #edinyarnfest2019 #thebordermill #alpacatweedsilk #rowanfeltedtweed #skeinreaction #knittersofinstagram

Yesterday I took a trip to Dundee to visit the amazing new V&A and the McManus gallery. Amongst many other lovely things, I saw this Shetland jumper and this painting. #knitting

Stash! Finally heading home after having a marvellous time sightseeing and at #edinyarnfest2019 where I met so many new people, including Sue & Heather both from Canada, Cordula from Switzerland, Ally & Irene, @koperdraadje @mathemaknitter @lucylocketland @francisheaven84 @janettebudge @himawari_knits and many whose names i didn’t manage to capture. Had a great workshop with @kariebookish and am heading home full of inspiration! #eyf2019

And another ribbon from #stephenandpenelope at #eyf2019 wearing #nimuetop from #pompommag in #edencottageyarns together with my own #dogespalacecowl and #sandonatomitts !

I’d barely been at EYF 5 minutes when I was given a Stephen & Penelope ‘style award’ - woo hoo! And so many people asked me where my top was from - it’s called Maria Donato and will be released on Ravelry just as soon as I get a chance to - meanwhile if you’re at EYF head along to @border_mill stand G7 where the pattern is available. (It features mosaic colourwork which you can’t actually see on this photo!) #eyf2019 #thebordermill #stephenandpenelope

Oh - that’s my hand in the middle of page 3 of the EYF newspaper wearing my San Donato pattern (available from @border_mill or my Ravelry page). Never imagined I’d be a page 3 girl!! #eyf2019 #thebordermill #sandonatomitts

It’s Edinburgh Yarn Festival at last! Many of my designs are at the @border_mill stand G7 - do go and have a look if you’re at EYF! There are a couple of brand new designs which will also be on Ravelry shortly! #eyf2019 #thebordermill

Just some of the samples I and @border_mill have been working on ahead of Edinburgh Yarn Festival. If you’re visiting EYF do visit their stand as many of my patterns will be on display in their beautiful yarns! #eyf2019 #bordermill #alpacayarn #knittersofinstagram #skeinreaction #thebordermill
