Given everything happening on the other apps, thinking I might try to merge my heritage/history and knitting selves over here?
Anyways, here are some of my favourite things I knit last year!

But by far my favourite part were these two. The first was made by a Japanese woman imprisoned in an internment camp in Canada, from cigarette packs and fabric scraps from kimonos. The second made by Canadian women for civilian relief and sent to the Netherlands.

A few weeks ago I was in Canada visiting family and I got to go to the Quilts: Made in Canada exhibition @romtoronto.bsky.social with my Grandma Eileen, a quilter herself.
Here is my grandma refusing to be sat in her wheelchair because she wanted to be closer to the quilts, and some of my favs.

First time on Bluesky in several months and it was a lovely surprise to find so many of you over here!
Here is Preston Market Cross, visited during a team development day last week to see the exciting work happening at Preston Tower. This brought my number of Historic Scotland sites visited to 50%!

As ever, I haven’t been able to engage with @museumsassociation.bsky.social conference this week as much as I’d hoped. But very pleased to be here for ‘Whose past is it anyway? Nostalgia, belonging and inclusion’
And obviously taking time for some meeting-knitting too

Great to finally visit Nzira Yeparuware - A Path Upon A Rock today! This immersive sound walk was developed by artist Tanatsei Gambura and explores Scotland’s involvement in Zimbabwe’s history using recordings from Harare’s Scottish-named sites. On until the end of the month at Edinburgh Castle.
