It seems to me that sheep are a knitter’s spirit animal, and who among us can resist their wooly promise of yarn-to-be? Knit a sweater decorated with sheep for your young one, and see if they don’t become a knitter too.

I can’t guarantee such magic will work every time, but it will at least be fun in the process and just might improve your chances of passing the craft on to the next generation. Gone Astray is the big sister size in my multi-generational series of sheep sweaters, which includes Welcome to the Flock for babies, and Shepherdess for adults.
