for those of us who are gifted in knitting (or have the patience to become so--as i do not!), Alice Starmore has written about the art and craft of the Aran sweater (Ireland's Gaelic-speaking western islands being the Aran isles) in her book Aran Knitting. a lovely Brigidine example of this is found in Pamela's House of Blues blog. (besides knitting a beautiful blue St. Brigit's sweater, pamela raises Blue Bearded Collies.)
I came across your website because of my own interest in Brigid. Last year I was inspired to restore the custom of Brigid's cloak and you can see the result at www.brigidscloak.com These cloaks are also sold by the Brigidine sisters in Co. Kildare, Ireland. Sara Jane Kingston
