Welcome to the Island of Man, to keep you warm on the cold night here is a pair of knee socks knitted in worsted weight. Sample was knit in Frog Tree Yarns Merino Melange on size 5 circulars. The Isle of Man is an interesting place steeped in Celtic Lore. My favourite place is the home of rest for the old horses. Draft horses that have reached retirement are brought here to be loved and nurtured.
Next Month we will go to Victorian London for a peak back in time.
