Posted on May 9, 2009 by Kristy Lamb

This is my finished Unshaped Shrug. I’m very pleased with it. I added an extra repeat to the width, and just tried it on as I went to get the perfect side-to-side length. I decided in the end to forego … Continue reading →

Mistakes were made.

Posted on May 7, 2009 by Kristy Lamb

The 2009 Connecticut Sheep and Wool festival was last weekend in Tolland, CT. My friend Lara and I went up there, and it was a ton of fun! There were beautiful sheep. The ones waiting to be sheared looked quite … Continue reading →
