I have been pulled into the world of YouTube these cold days, watching knitting podcasts, allotment gardening videos and art vlogs. I dont feel guilty at all because these have been inspiring me to knit, sketch and plan my gardens. The still from Youtube below is from Fruity Knitting, an amazing series of video podcasts made by a couple that feature knitters from all over the world – this one is a Shetland Designer showing one of her fair aisle designs inspired by Vemeer’s painting. Swoon! My drink of choice this afternoon is a beet gutshot with a wee bit of gin, and my drawing tool is a Lamy Safari fountain pen
