I also wanted you to know that we really enjoyed the sheep shearing festival. Thank you very much. Looking forward to next year.

I've worn it for so long that it is literally coming apart at the seams. And it has a couple of holes that may or may not be moth holes. I don't have a pattern, but it is a simple crew neck sweater with a few cables. It isn't fancy, but it fits perfectly, which is often a problem for me because I'm really short (sleeves are always long and shoulders are huge). It is an oatmeal color like your yarn and it goes with everything. I'd love to replace it, but I don't even know where I bought it, and it no longer has a tag. If i ever want another, the only way for me to get it is to re-knit it. And this yarn would be perfect! I’d make a sweater to replace my favorite one.

To me, this sweater should use a wool that is similar to the natural coloring of an owl. Not all owls are dark grey or brown Your oatmeal heather is the perfect color and from the looks of your picture is a perfect fuzziness (or lack thereof) to really highlight the 3-D effect of the cabled owls.

I think that I would make a sweater out of it! I don't currently have a pattern picked out, but that yarnjust screams sweater. Well, I guess I’ll give this a shot..
