It’s a tremendous honor to be entrusted with Douglas. I know how high of a bar you set in your standard of care for your sheep and to be worthy of that is not lost on me. Thank you.
Oh my goodness. No need for a mention. Thank you. These stories are why I am here. I would love to buy a pair of mitters for my daughter.
I, also love to ski. Cotton or synthetic socks are the worst at keeping feet warm, (and I refuse to buy 3rd party wool or fleece from Amazon because of their anti competive practices). In ski boots. I will gladly purchase a pair of thick wool/fleece socks from you. The down side, is have size 14 feet, and the socks need to come to mid shin... Might be a whole sheeps worth of fleece!!!.
I’ll see what I can do for you. My husband was a size 13 so your size would not be a problem!! I'll take pics of my existing mittens and send you a PM about that and sizes. Thank you for your interest!
The changes which come with aging are never easy. But looking at them realistically with open eyes is crucial, kudos to you for facing them. We don’t keep animals anymore (other than cats) and are looking into whether we can get a conservation easement to prevent development of our beautiful acres once we are gone. It’s hard.
Awwe so sorry to hear of Douglas' departure. I know full-well how hard it is to let our luvies go. And I feel your pain as you downsize your farm. I worry, too, about what will happen at Runamuk as I age.
Good job toughing out the learning process with your sock-machine! I'm like that, too--if I can't do it right, I don't wanna, lol. But persevering usually overcomes the learning curve--eventually, lol.
Spring will come again! Sending love and good juju to Fat Turkey Farm!
Douglas is a handsome boy, I am sure you will miss him. We have had to make these downsizing choices too. I try to remember that there is still plenty we can do, even though we can't do it all. Here's to many years ahead for you and your flock
I tried my hand at knitting socks years ago. It is alot of fun once you get the hang of the heel. I used the 2 circular needle approach rather than the 4 thin knitting needle approach. It made it easier for my arthritic hands.
I laughed out loud when you wrote how Douglas had worked himself out of a job.
I hope you feel better. This cold weather is taking quite a toll on those of us past a certain age.

I know he is in good hands now.

I sure hope you can make that work for you!!

Thank you! It’s aways a challange, isnt it?

Thank you, feeling much better now. I haven’t tried on two circular needles but can crank them out on 4.
Yeah this year is taking its toll on me for sure.
