Wool is such an amazing material. And even more so when it is comes from animals you tend, on land you steward, shorn by a local shearer, made into yarn by local fiber mills, and brought to life by local artisans with patterns inspired by the Gotland breed itself. Whew! Quite a community! It feels like magic to turn grass (and invasive species management, our initial goal) into a sweater, hat & mittens. ✨
The sweater is the Vermont Cardigan, pattern available from @vtgrandviewfarm designed by @hada131 and artfully knit for me by @fiddleridgeknits 🐑
The mittens design came from The Swedish Mitten Book: Traditional Patterns from Gotland and again were skillfully knit for me by @fiddleridgeknits 🐑
And the Becket Hat caught my eye when @sixdutchessfarm worked with @intothewool to feature their Gotland yarn ~ my first real knitting project with my own yarn, milled by @ewetopiayarn. 🐑
Wool for the hat came from my buddy Sigurd, photo 2, one of our first sheep, and wool for the sweater and mittens came from Iris, photo 3, one of the first lambs born on the farm. Being a shepherd is many things, from rewarding and peaceful to hard work and heart wrenching. It is such a fulfilling experience to be part of it all, every step of the way. ✨

You guys.
I did it! I actually knitted a hat, and it’s wearable and everything! 🤣 Jokes aside, this hat was a massive learning project for me as I started out by looking up how to purl (yes, total novice here) and each new-to-me stitch the pattern gave. I have always wanted to cable knit, and this hat is my first time cabling. Even more special, this is the first time I’ve knit with yarn from my own sheep because I never felt like my skills were worthy of all the work it had taken to get from sheep to yarn. 🐑 We’ve had sheep for 5+ years now! It was time to dive in the deep end and I’m so glad I did.
I also finished the hat on the 3rd anniversary of my grandmother’s passing. She taught me how to knit when I was a little girl. I spent a lot of the evenings (ok late nights!) knitting this hat thinking about her and reliving fond family memories. 💚
