Spent this afternoon skirting sheep fleece. Wouldn’t it be fun to knit with wool from some of the sheep who live on Cape?

Jane looking very scruffy mid-moult. It's a natural process that all sheep would have done once, before it was bred out of them. If I could catch her, I would remove her 'jacket' from her! As it is, I will have to collect this wool from the ground, or fence, or nearby bush. #soaysheep #selfsheddingsheep #capeclearisland #primitivesheep by @capeclearsheep

Preknit for @ailbiona, the Flappery Hat is now live and on Ravelry. Super fun to knit. I confess I could have blocked it better to give more of a beret shape to the top. Those earflaps are toasty warm! Necessary for the season that's in it @hi.ravelry @studiodonegal #studiodonegalsoftdonegal #handknit #handknithat #iknitmyownclothes by @capeclearsheep
