It’s Piping Time Again. . . .
Posted by mtmom on July 24, 2008
So much excitement around here this past week. Teen-genius called it “bagpipe immersion week”! First was a week of eavesdropping at the Bagpiping School. International instructors taught classes, including some which were open for us non-students to listen to — what fun! Followed by the Northern Arizona Celtic Heritage Society’s Highland Games/Celtic Festival, with parade, vendors, kilted athletes, dancers, and more piping, including The Wicked Tinkers. Here are some (tiny) photos of the activities. (First one can link to a larger image.) Knitting content will have to wait until next post — 2 kilt hose at a time on one 60″ circular.
