Over the Sea to Skye shawl pattern

Some of you know that I'm a huge reader, especially of the historical variety. Fiction and non-fiction, I love them both! The whole of the United Kingdom's history is what I especially like to read about. Fewer of you know that I love the Outlander series. I was on Instagram the other day and saw someone's photo of a shawl they made. It's called "Over the Sea to Skye" which the theme song to Outlander is based and also a popular folk song in Scotland. It's about the bonny Prince Charlie and his escape after the second uprising of Scottish Highlanders in 1745. History, knitting and reading all in one go!

Weigh in's and crafty purchases

On Tuesdays I weigh in. My younger sister and I are keeping each other accountable. So today, I weighed in at 188.8... 10.2 lbs lost in 7 weeks. I've been following the Keto diet guidelines and it has really helped my blood sugars stay even... if that's even really possible. Let's just say I haven't had a serious high or low since I started and that on it's own is a huge motivator for me. Slow weight loss is still weight loss.

I bough some Patons Kroy Socks yarn in Blue Striped Ragg.  I've never used this yarn before but the colors are great and I was thinking I'll make everyone in the family the same pair...

My life so far...

In my adult life I have started blogging about 1,000 times. I had different blogs for different topics and moods... I've decided to start blogging in a way that is more like a journal. I can't juggle what to put in what blog and sometimes it feels repetitive and uninspiring. One place to put all my thoughts on the hobbies that I'm pursuing at the moment instead of a different one for paper crafting, knitting, my health journey and our homestead. It's too much and I found myself unmotivated to do any of them after a while. My mother likes to write, my older sister has a degree in journalism, I think it's part of our DNA... I hated writing in school but I love reading, I loathe math but I find Biology interesting and I absolutely adore history!  Some of my current interests are knitting and spinning wool and fiber into yarn, quilting and sewing, learning to live with Type 1 Diabetes (I was diagnosed just over 2 years ago!), raising our animals on our little farm,...
