I love all the original sources you bring to these. We spent 4 months in your last year and went right through Wensleydale. In my opinion, the desire to not be alone while we work is deep in our bones, whether that's chipping arrowheads or knitting.
This is wonderful. I loved all the detail. I've been to Dent but the museum was closed when we were there - I definitely need to go back again some time.
Oh no, that’s a shame! I hope you get to go back. I was half planning a dream Yorkshire dales trip while doing the research for this, I don’t think I’ve ever actually been and it looks absolutely stunning.
Wow! How interesting! My Dad was from county Durham and it was he who taught me to knit.

The photo of the Welsh ladies knitting is fab. Tanygrisiau, the place name, literally means 'under the stairs!'
Wow, thanks! That’s an adorable place name.

Wonderful to know. I love to imagine the songs and the fellowship. Not to mention the socks! Short rows together!!
Yup, I wouldn’t want to be the slow knitter holding everyone up for the next verse!
You should write a book! Such fascinating articles and in-depth research - much appreciated.
Thank you, that’s very kind!
