Joining in with Ginny’s Yarn Along and Attic24’s Moorland CAL.
I’m using slightly different colours to Lucy’s Moorland palette, as I really could not allow myself to buy more yarn, so am using colours from my stash. I think the result will be more hedgerow than Moorland, but I’m happy with the substitutions so far.
More details of the colours will follow in another post. They are all from the Stylecraft Special DK Acrylic yarn which I get from Wool Warehouse, but Deramores are also a very good mail order firm. You can find the fabulous Attic24 packs at Wool Warehouse.
When I was in Pembrokeshire (Wales) recently, I found the book, a wonderfully evocative tale of island life with lots of delightful black and white photos.
I’m itching to tell you all about my 31 days retreat to a gorgeous treehouse near Solva. There is so much to tell you and hundreds of photos to sort through!
It was such a blissful time of beach walks, new friends, family history, sand circles and wild food foraging. It will take a while for me to put it together into some coherent posts but in the meantime pay a virtual visit to the treehouse via its listing on Air BnB which is how I found it – my review is there for you to read as well.

Nice to see you are doing some crocheting, how I first stumbled upon your blog 🙂
I’m going to bebop on over to the link and check out the tree house. Is great to see a photo of it. I envisioned you climbing up and down a very vertical ladder!

Ha! It was quite narrow and steep, but thankfully not vertical.
Ah! so it was crochet that brought us together – how wonderful – it makes contact in all cultures I’ve discovered when I travel – creativity will save the world! = ooooh another slogan – I will have to make a doodle round that one! 😉

I haven’t read Melba Griffiths’s book yet but it is on my list as I know her quite well. If you are generally interested in Ramsey Island another good book is Roscoe Howells’s “The Sounds Between”.
Sorry I missed visiting with you this last trip, but this afternoon was the first chance I’ve managed to get out and about properly since before Christmas!
