    Dear Dot,
    I am so glad to have discovered your website- the batts you create are gorgeous! My name is Paddy Lynch, and I am a felt-maker from North Carolina. My husband and I plan to be in Scotland in mid-April for a wedding, and would love to learn about the fiber arts in your country. The trip is still in the making, but any recommendations about artists like yourself and/or sheep farms that we could visit would be most appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Paddy (I am female, by the way!)

    • Dear Paddy,
      Thanks so much for your kind words! Scotland is a great place for fibre arts at the moment so you should find lots to see and do on your trip. Whereabouts in Scotland will you be based? I’d certainly be happy to give you my opinion on some good places to visit! To get the best advice on where to go however, I suggest you visit the “Scot Knits” group on the forums at Ravelry. There are lots of local fibre artists who regularly post there. The url is http://www.ravelry.com/groups/scot-knits.
