Look at a map of Maine and amongst the ragged, island-sprinkled coastline, you'll find many names related to sheep. Why? Because for generations Maine shepherds have known islands to be some of the healthiest places for sheep.Â

A mere two months have passed since the start of the new year, and yet many of us have already given up on those promises we made when we were sentimental and hopeful.
If you need a hat done in a hop, skip, and a jump, this one is a great option! Using just 1 skein of Briggs and Little Super, it can easily be completed in one evening.Â
Hopefully you've gotten a good start on your assignment from last week: pulling out and categorizing your UFOs. I realize it was a hard week to do so, what with the abundant festivities.

Gift number 4 in our Christmas knit-a-long is an unimaginably snuggly, fluffy, puffy, couch pillow! These are the ideal family gift as the holidays near and there's less time to make individual presents. They're are also great for people you may not feel comfortable knitting clothing for. Add a wood fire, a cup of coffee and some knitting to your oversized woolen pillow and let the coziness commence.
