Yesterday I took a day off from working in the Forge, scooted down the mountain and delivered some crosses and pendants to Matt Newsome at the Scottish Tartans Museum and Gift Shop in Franklin. After some great chat with Matt and Ronan and Walter (and a howdy to a hard-working Chuck), I sidled over to the handcraft and artisan area of the Gift Shop.

I took that opportunity to pick up and fondle a Ryan Ross bonnet. Yep, very excellent heft, feel, and workmanship. (See http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ak-peek-58869/)

So, I trucked down the street to Virginia Murphy's yarn shop and looked over her inventory of yarns. I selected this color Cascade 220 wool heather yarn (9450):


Now Ryan is going to felt my bonnet. That is cool.
