During a visit to Fair Isle in the summer of 1913, the Reverend [Robert Logan] and his wife Annie purchased the pullover for [their son] John from one of the island’s knitters. The garment is a good example of the type of traditional knitting done in Fair Isle for at least a century before, and prior to the global fashion boom in fair isle-style garments for men and women in the early 1920s The pullover is made of white hand-spun wool, most likely from sheep born and raised on Fair Isle. The colours are somewhat typical of the earliest phase of the craft: red, dyed from madder or a mixture of madder and several local dye sources; very dark blue, a strong indigo dyebath that required dipping and oxidation numerous times; medium blue, from a weaker indigo dyebath; yellow, made from various native plants; and natural white.

I am trying this right now but I fear I did not let the marshmallow milk cool enough before combining it with the cream. It gets very frothy at the top, and that froth was cool, but I think the liquidy part was still warm. I guess I have to wait sooo many hours to see :/

Tasty but into the top set right. Very similar to the foam you get when you put a marshmallow in hot chocolate, but cold! With homemade sprinkles

my neighbourhood has never had an ice cream truck. in the summer, we have the knife sharpening truck. it slowly circles the block and rings its ominous bell. i have never seen someone interact with it. it may be that only those marked by death can see it

So anyway we may in fact be marked for death in the way all retail employees are, but shout out to knife trucks everywhere.

And everyone knew better than to use the fabric shears for anything but fabric.
