KDD & Co 
Good Morning Kate, my name is Jorjan Werry. I am from Washington state, USA. I have been wanting to visit the Shetland islands since forever. I am now even more determined to visit from following your blog. My question is do you know of anyone that gives a great tour of Shetland for knitters? Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Kate and tOm! Very best wishes for a terrific 2017! I so enjoy receiving all your textural offerings. You have a knack for writing as well as designing, Kate. Must tell you I am carefully recording each of Tom’s whiskey referrals for my own tasting in 2017! Many thanks for your grand efforts! They are very much appreciated!

Merry Christmas and to a Happy New Year and congratulations on a wonderful year well done. I’ve been following and reading and knitting with you for years. So much change and inspiration, you are truly a gift to the world. I’ve enjoyed all you have to offer and these photographs are proof of the wonderful offerings you give to us. Tom’s photography is just gorgeous, Bruce’s enthusiasm is infectious and the little I’ve seen of Jesus lately, well he’s a cat and all cats deserve to be admired. Thank you for sharing a year of your life in photos.

Thanks for the reminders of 2016, the year in which I first heard about you on Woman’s Hour, Radio 4, in July. I have just listened again to that interview – the listener chain was a great radio concept, introducing us to so many interesting people. Thanks for taking part in it – I’m currently knee-deep in your Inspired by Islay club, and I have to say, I’m so happy I heard Woman’s Hour that day! Best wishes for 2017.
