Part history book and part memoir of this author's journey into becoming a shepherd and custodian for the breed. It also delves into the difficulties living on a small island with the sheep when it comes to getting then processed into meat and tanned hides as well. I appreciated the author's commitment to living as naturally on the land as possible, and finding ethical processing. I look forward to spinning this wool some day.
Mini getaway planned for next month ~ AirBnB w/ hot tub booked ☑️, wine ☑️ which books to bring ❓❓❓. Of the ones pictured, I‘ll leaning towards the tagged book. (because it is the oldest🤦🏼♀️)
Covid arrives and the author decides to make a sweater from scratch. From shearing the sheep, spinning and dyeing the wool, and making the sweater. I enjoyed her humor and the particular items she chose to go into depth on, especially color and the origin of particular colors (from bugs). The last quarter of the book got a bit bogged down, but overall I enjoyed it.

Hello #LitsyCrafters ☺️ How is your 2024 going so far?
This year I'm crocheting a book blanket! Each color is a different genre and the number of rows is the star rating I gave it. Above is what I have so far!
One of my goals this year is to complete more projects that I've already started.
If you'd like to be added or removed from the #LitsyCrafters tag list let me know.
This is the 1st time I've heard of a grab and hold method for sheepdog work. Pretty smart of the farmers to come up with this. Necessity is the mother of invention indeed! Hopefully the teeth file down wasn't to the dogs detriment.
No reading for me yesterday. Decided to learn a new stitch (brioche) and make a near ear warmer headband thing!
I have to get into audiobooks so I can craft and read at the same time! Anyone have any recommendations? I was turned off by the narrator in the last one I tried. 🙉🙈
A friend sent me the info for this book. Of course I couldn't resist. I'm currently participating in a rare breed wool study so this is my kind of jam. (Hand spinning yarn.)
i had to read this for my university book club and it definitely brought me out of my comfort zone 😅 the constant pining and lusting over men was kinda grating
I took a drop single class this past weekend and it inspired me to dig this book out. I got it a few years ago but never read it.
