the knitting begins again!

the spun cheviot wool is a bit thicker than the other wools i have been using so this bird should move a bit quicker! schools work is coming to a close so i will have more time to work on my knitting ! originally i had thought that i would knit all the birds in cheviot wool as this would tie in so well with the history of the area. i decided to knit them using accurate colours to the actual birds as i felt that this would make art work which could be used in some way as a learning resource and remain with the community for that purpose.. knitting solely with cheviot wool may be something to explore as a development from this project.
