enough for a sweater

Many years ago my mother sent me nine hanks of wool spun from sheep that roamed a pasture just beyond her home.  Each year their wool would be sent off to be spun.  The yarns offered by the neighbors were the colors offered by their sheep.

All this time I've been on the lookout for the right sweater.  Yesterday, I found it.  I'm going to make myself the hourglass sweater from this book.  The vibrant orange sweater pictured in the book made me realize that I couldn't possibly knit this sweater up to be the color of the sheep that so closely resembles the color of the sky above its pasture in late February.  So, I'm about to embark an adventure in dyeing.  Stay tuned...
