Some lucky duck will be receiving this gorgeous handmade throw for Christmas, crocheted by yours truly.
Not only is it made locally, but the yarn was from local animals (sheep. llamas, goats, I believe), dyed and spun by a remarkable local craftswoman, Maggie Howe of Prairieland Herbs.
What? Doesn't everyone have exposed pipes in their living room?
I'm making another throw for a second special someone made with custom-ordered yarn from Maggie. I requested mostly non-wool fibers in blues and grays with some maroon thrown in. She was able to spin up about 1200 yards of this yarn in less than a week. That's some serious spinning, folks.
Completion of the second throw has been delayed due to...
umm...
technical difficulties.
