Welcome to Litsy!

Different than I thought it would be, this book starts with knitting and ends with some surprising politics and micro economics. It cured me of wanting to escape to Scotland to raise sheep.
A knitter decides to raise sheep after learning that this rare wool might be lost without people passionate about the breed and becomes a strong advocate for her sheep and farm.
3/6 read for lots of sheep history and facts and government farm program critiques

The writing is sometimes clunky and there is a significant amount of time spent on genetics. This was a fascinating look at some remarkable creatures and the determined, creative people who work with them. A pick if you are very interested in animals.

Oh my, what a haul, @wanderinglynn !!! It must have taken me 10 minutes to open it all! The books are absolutely perfect. I‘m so happy to have them both. Everything is so well chosen: the dried apples, tea, chocolates, and coffee are all favorites. I was thinking earlier this week that I didn‘t have a “winter” mug per se, and just like that, I do. How cool is that! The midwinter wellness potion is great timing, and I love the candle.
