An Irish Yarn
The truth behind the tragically romantic myth of the Aran sweater.
via The Knitting Curmudgeon in her entry dated February 22nd. A great article — although I do love the myth!
Once upon a time, my great friend Carmel (she of the bucket-o-chic) lived in Ireland. My family and I were lucky to be able to visit her twice while she was there. We are luckier still that she moved back!! Here are some pictures from our first trip in 1999.

Go on ya goot’ing…here’s a little Gaelic proverb just for you…
Is maith an scathan suil charad
“A friend’s eye is a good mirror”

Hey – I was in Ireland in May 1999 and love it! What a wonderful vacation destination!
This is a great blog entry, and I’m remiss in thanking you for sending it my way! I should have taken shameless advantage and posted a link from my blog, but that’s what I get for being distracted!
