On This Day 2010

Wool patterns and designs have come a long way in my 40 years in Shetland. You can get Fair Isle knitwear in virtually any colour and hats in all shapes and sizes.

Ah, those fair-isle bonnets. My mum wore one for years - usually for going to church!

@777margo Style certainly is a traditional hat but maybe a bit more colourful these days.
