Glad that I’m not the only one obsessed with those hats; I’ve been looking at them on and off since they appeared on Instagram! You can see my own exploration of the importance of colour value in putting together fair isle colours at http://chezlizzie.blogspot.ca/2016/05/colllur.html. It’s easy to get lost for hours in this sort of colour play. So much fun.

As someone who has taken a sheep shearing class–yes, it is seriously hard work. I haven’t run a full marathon, but I’ve run a half, and sheep shearing is definitely tougher. Not to mention the fear of nicking the sheep, for several reasons: hurting the animal, ruining a fleece that has taken a year to grow, and ruining a prize animal for a farmer or causing them to lose money. I only sheared once after the training and it was so physically tough and slightly traumatizing (I nicked a sheep’s tail–the owner thought she was fine but it was still rough for me!) that I don’t do it anymore. It’s definitely made me appreciate the wool I spin and knit with.
I am also in love with Tessa’s embroidered shirts! Wowza.
