This just came out of the Eucalon bath and is still drying. I am so in love with the colors and the chickens! I never even knew I wanted to knit chickens. I still need to take better pictures and post the specs, but I’m waiting for it to dry. This test knit has been so darn fun.

I wish my grandma and grandpa were still around to see these adorable farm themed projects. I really need to do something that features sheep in honor of my grandpa who farmed sheep in his retirement. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of visiting the farm to see the new lambs, watch the shearing, climb the big tree in front of the farmhouse, smell the wild roses (not the sheep manure), and swing in the hay loft. I may also have climbed the grain elevator.

My grandfather taught me to crochet, which later led to knitting (because after my first 5 afghans, all the patterns I wanted to make were knit and not crochet), so I have him to thank for my fiber arts passion.
