Auntie Kim's Sweaters


Auntie Kim makes the best lamb sweaters. She lovingly spins the wool and knits a lovely garter stitch back and forth. The sweaters are what I call "cheap insurance." I could leave for work today knowing my lambs are snug and warm inside their sweaters if, God forbid, they get out of the pen and sit in a draft. The turtleneck keeps their chests and neck warm, while a cape hangs over the back. The bottom is only connected half way down, leaving the bottom open for Mom to get her nose under it to nuzzle her lamb. If the sweater gets caught on a nail or fence post it is stretchy enough to pull off the struggling lamb. Thank you, Auntie Kim!
