'Buying handmade is best because you know something has been made with love and care while also helping someone keep their creative passion alive. I love the quirks you get with handmade that can never be replicated by machines - handmade has heart ♥ ' - Ethan, Folksy Support

Evening #womaninbizhour Here are my classic sheep wristwarmers which got posted to their new home this week..I also knit them in other colours 🐏💚🐑💕🐏🧡 TheYorkshireGreySheep.co.uk

This little beauty is handmade inspired by folk art.
I have worked her legs differently from my usual way and I love the spider and broken effect it gives her.
She is available on Big Cartel
