Hat, Hats, Hats....of the Month The winner of the red shawl from July giveaway Name drawn was ''InJuneau'' With Autumn just around the corner I'm knitting lots of hats & building musk ox knitwear stock for my Christmas sales that are approaching so fast ! I have a new Website www.absoluteshetland.websiteanimal.com  for all my Shetland yarns & knitwear so please check that out soon ! While browsing around the web I found a wonderful Youtuber who has really great Tutorial video's for all her hat patterns & her patterns so far have worked Beautifully with my light Worsted weight Shetland yarns ! Her name is Pleasesant seas- (will add links at the end of this post) Her instructions are very clear & so easy to understand, a very talented lady ! Patterns are included as a knit-along to the vid & in text form when you click on her links. One of my favourites is this one: Hat of the month for July 2014/the Little mermaid-Arie...

  Shetland Croft Wool..... Sock Kit.     Well its that time again....snows here and will be with us until about 20th April, it's a very Long Cold Winter here in Quebec !  The sheep dont seem to mind the snow. I leave the door open during the day so they can go in and out. Inside the barn its cozy and dry. The hay mangers are filled and overflowing with the best quality semi-dry silage hay......  they can eat as much as they need to stay healthy and warm. The sheep spend their day frolicing in the snow......me i mind the snow. Inside my rubber boots i like my feet to be Toasty warm and dry so i can enjoy doing my barn chores....there is nothing more miserable than cold, damp feet ! And here's my newest yarn....''shetland Croft Wool'' This is made from 100% shetland wool raw fleece that i purchased on the internet. ( my sheep are not ready to start supplying me with wool until next spring.....Can't wait as i know...
