So her visit a couple years ago resulted in some yummy yarn for me...she went to a mill..and brought back this...
Deidre says Ireland smells like these skeins....
She also stopped at a store and got these for me...
This year, she and her husband went back for their 25th...(they took their youngest with them)
I have been told that although there are a lot of sheep seen in Ireland, it is sometimes difficult to actually find yarn...I appreciate the effort....she's such a fabulous friend! (I will add another friend tried to get me yarn in Italy, but the shops were always closed)
Some random photos...
Here's a fun one...
And here is a throwback shot of her previous trip, her daughter was dancing in the World's..I believe it was her last competition, as she retired...

I've been wanting to go to Ireland. Husband has a friend that lives there...well, actually, it's his sister's friend but we like her, too :)
I was just in Ireland!! So pretty and yes there are sheep everywhere! I brought myself home two skeins of Irish yarn - one for socks and another in a heavier weight yarn - I'll likely make a cowl out of it.
You lucky!! I love getting yarn gifts - the gift that keeps on giving!
Lovely, especially the mug. :-) My neighbour wanted to bring me yarn from Norway but she found it so scratchy and didn't buy any. She said I would have to wear at least two undershirts with long sleeves to not feel the scratchy yarn on my skin and that the sweater would be too thick and warm in our parts of the world. Hahaha. I was in Ireland once but didn't look for yarn back then. What are you making with the Irish yarn. Any ideas yet?
