Well, I hoped to have a bunch of neat photos to post for you today, but I think my mom’s camera is haunted or something. All of the photos I took this weekend are PINK. Not just pink they are hot pink. FUCHSIA. I don’t know what’s up there. J sent me this photo though.
The Liam loved the dancers. He stood there and watched them for ages with his jaw dropped. I had other photos of the pipe major and the drum and pipe bands and the caber toss etc etc, but they are all funky.
I messed with this one a bit and managed to get most of the pink out of it, but I’m not being very successful with the others.
J also bought me a ring and a Luckenbooth charm which I’d love to post photos of for you all, but..alas I have only aformentioned haunted camera. The ring is a sterling silver (I can’t wear gold ..boo) ring with a trinity knot on either side of an oval faceted amethyst. The Luckenbooth charm came from www.heatherbraes.com, but they don’t have any photos up on their site yet.
We ate Scotch Eggs and haggis and other nummy stuff. I probably gained 10 lbs. We visited the Clan tents, though neither one of mine were represented this year. (I am a Graham on my dad’s side and a Balfour on my mother’s side).
Here’s my progress as of Thursday on the Raibert sweater for The Liam.
Can you tell that’s his initials on the hem? I think it will look better once it’s off the needles and blocked. I’ve knitted a bunch more since I took the photo, and I’ll take another photo as soon as I can figure out what’s wrong with this camera.
Happy Monday!

I absolutely love the Highland Festival! We try to go every year up here. Glad you enjoyed yourselves at yours!
