Been having fun experimenting with #microcrochet and have some super cute things in the shop, but I ran out of my earring cards. Have to print more, but you can get these @canalquarterarts along with tons of other art and handmade treasures. #microcr

The Internet: Did you know that shiba inus are the breed that is genetically closest to wolves? Me: Well, I pulled half a mole out the mouth of mine the other day, so yeah, that tracks.

I've been making a lot of these stitch markers lately, but I haven't put them on my website yet. That's on my to do list for this week. Today, I'm taking a break from knitting. But the cast-on is coming. #stitchmarkers #knittingaddict #handspunyarn

The Mermaid and the Moine Thrust

Between the carpark at Inchdnadamph and the start of the Traligill Glen is a tourist marker explaining the geological significance of the area. I found these markers that dot the Highlands incredibly informative, but this one had an interesting story. In one section is spoke of geologist, Charles Lapworth whose first called attention to the dramatic Moine Thrust in Assynt back in 1882. According to the sign, Lapworth wrote about having nightmares about being “bodily caught up in the Moine Thrust” and crushed between the tectonic plates that meet near there. Now, I have an uncle who is a geologist, and for a second I tried to imagine him having nightmares about plate tectonics. It made Lapworth seem a bit hyperbolic.
