Now for the unexpected things..

We'd lóve to check out the knitted fence, éverybody's talking about. It's not far away from our little home away from home, so that's on the itinerary for Sunday.

My friend wants to check out some puffins.

Monday the Wool Week will be opened for business and lots of workshops will take off. I'll be at Kate Davies Workshop on Monday afternoon.
(it's also my birthday then, so we have to check out some local shops for treats)

Tuesday we both take of for Voe, and in the afternoon I'll have to race back to Lerwick. Hazel Tindall will learn me (and others) how to best knit Fair Isle.
In the evening we'll meet up with other Ravelers and Liz!

Wednesday we have the day off. Plenty of time to visit the museums then. In the evening I'm showing my stuff in the Jamieson & Smith store with Mary Kay and Gudrun Johnston.

The Shetland Bound is there already on display with all the other designs of the Lace Collection!  

Thursday we take our little car to Unst. The top of the Isle hosts a lot of pretty things, and getting there will involve 2 ferries! The museum holds lace and other heritage items and I'm sure by that time my laptop and camera will be overloaded with pictures.
I don't think we'll see the lighthouse, but it sure is pretty! 

Friday I have time for visiting more museums, or do other things; playing tourist! I'm sure I'll stand out with my length like a sore thumb.

By the time it's Saturday we have to pack our stuff and leave it all behind. I'm sure you'll hear all about it, after that!

See you!
