Aran

“The Aran Sweater takes its name from the set of islands where it originated many generations ago, off the West coast of Ireland. The Islanders were fishermen and farmers whose lives and livelihoods were deeply intertwined. The Aran Sweater was born of this environment, passed down from generation to generation, and has since become the ultimate symbol of Irish Clan heritage. The many combinations of stitches seen on the garment are not incidental, far from it. They can impart vast amounts of information to those who know how to interpret them.” https://www.aran.com/our-history-the-story-of-aran

A very wet and windy day. After sleeping for 12 hours solid, spent the remainder of the day unpacking and getting straight after my trip to Dublin. The photo is a section of my new Aran poncho.

Thank you so much for all your kind stars and hearts for my Dublin blips.
