Okay, I have a few things in mind, but this one is just blowing it (my mind, that is)!
I found out about it on
Kate Davies's lovely and amazing blog. (You may recall
I sent her a "Get Well Soon" card, which she actually received.) Anyway, this is a collaboration with yes, a shepherd, a shearer, and two knitting pattern authors (of which Kate is one). I'm afraid my description of the project (oh, you know how I love projects) will not do it justice, but not only does it entail knitting up a good "working" sweater (read: not a frou-frou luxury yarn one - which I still love by the way), but some of the profits from the project will go to establish scholarships to help other women become sheep shearers. It is definitely what I'd call a "nose-to-tail" knitting project, and
I want in.
The question is - can I wait and see if it somehow materializes beneath my yet-to-be-found-and-cut-down Christmas tree (makes it sound like we're going to steal it, but we're not), or do I reward myself for my hard work this year (hah!)? (Needless to say, this flies in the face of the no new crafting materials pledge, but c'mon.)
