RE: Lorna Hamilton-Brown: Knitting the Blues, Knitting in Jamaica
What an interesting character. Lorna has found her bliss and dove in head on. I think there is gonna be a resurgence of knitting in Jamaica, my Aunts knitted all the time, especially furniture top pieces. I was even sent a few from my aunt in Florida recently.
Yeah :) it was very interesting in Lorna's writing where she talked about Jamaican women's ability to "freestyle" - they see an item and can recreate it without a pattern. Lorna's mum didn't learn to read a knitting pattern until she came to England.
You realise that I'm going to want to swap my nightclub passes for entry to museums and galleries when I come over? 😜
I realize, gonna have to get @miyard to make a list of all the museums and galleries in Negril. In Kingston now the place to visit is the Peter Tosh museum.
Ammm I think this is knitting lol or is it crochet lol? . But seriously you used to be able to find these in any Jamaican home ( I took a pic of the aunty special 😂)
Hehe, look forward to seeing the list :)
I think this is crochet, I've seen some beautiful lace curtains similar to this in houses of friends.
Re galleries etc: I'd be happy to do reviews :)
Also, I saw a really interesting bird-watching tour ... hehe
