My knitting comfort zone are shawls. This year, I want to improve my sweater knitting skills. I am starting with a vest and the swatching has begun with the lace panel. The wool I am using is by Bare Naked Wool and is from Corriedale sheep. Great stitch definition. #knitting #handmade #yarn #corriedale #sweaterknitting #IsabellKraemer
@BabetteFfest I used to raise corriedale sheep.
@deepmud wow! Did you use their wool? It's beautiful to knit with.
@BabetteFfest yes, we did. My sister spun the wool, and I knitted it. They were nice sheep and I loved the way they smelled.
@deepmud oh my goodness! How fantastic! Do you still have the items you knitted? It's such a beautiful wool. I hope my knitting skills do it justice.
@BabetteFfest it was a very long time ago. I moved away and let my sister keep the flock. She may have some items, as her English mother in law was a proficient knitter.
Beautiful wool and a really interesting pattern of stitches
@TCMuffin I am so enjoying knitting with it.
