Description
Use your artistic talents to knit a talented woolly artist, baa none!

Coming into sight over the horizon is Beattie Herdvyck, the latest Cumbrian Character to make an appearance. Beattie is a Herdwick sheep, a breed that is mainly only seen within the Lake District, and she spends her days painting Lakeland scenes, which she exhibits in a small art gallery in her village. Beattie’s jacket is knitted in traditional Herdwick grey, and trimmed with matching fur collar and cuffs, using a scrap of any suitable fur yarn you can find. If you would prefer to make Beattie on one of her days away from painting then you can simply omit the portfolio and use her bag to carry tiny balls of yarn instead of art materials, because Beattie is a prize-winning knitter too!
