An Oban Home and the Scottish Women's Institute

STITCHING THE TAPESTRY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS

This audio forms part of a series of audio interviews conducted in 2023 by Smartify as part of the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project. Listen and discover the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands through the eyes of the stitchers of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands.

Join Jenny of The Dam Stitchers as she discusses her journey to Oban from the Borders, being a part of the Scottish Woman's Institute (also referred to as the Rural) and her beginnings in knitting.

...she worked out from a jumper that she was wearing the pattern and the stitches to do and I knitted this Fair Isle jumper. I don't think I've still got it. And then the next thing I knitted was an Arran jumper so I went in at the deep end really!
