Several ideas for Christmas shopping in our list for #BookWeekScotland.
Many of the books are from very small publishers and all those in print are available from independent book shops.
Kishies and Cuddies is a fascinating study by Lois Walpole, herself a basketmaker with decades of experience.

It’s been an amazing year on Yell for Greenfinchs, considering they have not even been annual since I’ve lived here. Today I saw another 2, taking our total to 11 birds, with another seen by Dougie Preston that takes this years total to 12 birds! #shetlandbirding

absolutely gorgeous!
Also, this was the quickest finished build we had. Made by one of our younger members about 4 minutes into the session! And a very lovely interpretation of Friendship it is too.

After linking, washing, brushing and then finishing touches done by hand and eye (we carefully check each), these pre-ordered Smookie jumpers are now ready to go out to their new owners.
