What was your inspiration?
Scottish highlands, wind swept steeps, sun glistening off of children's heads as they run through fields of spring flowers, bread baking in the oven and a pie cooling on a sill as you sip warm tea on the porch, yarn stash by your side, needles in hand watching little curled heads darting through the grass.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Make sure you are comfortable crocheting, braiding, and cross stitching.
