Mason Dixon Knitting's March Mayhem!!

Have you guys been following along with Kay and Ann of Mason Dixon Knitting as they conduct this year's March Mayhem?? 

If you have, you'll know that Widow's Kiss is down to the last 8!  They began with 64 patterns, and with each round of voting, I've been sure that Widow's Kiss would pop off, but here we are, with 2 sweaters left, and it's still hanging in there. 

I'm completely honored that it even made the original cut, but you guys have no idea how happy it makes me that this sweater, which was designed to draw eyes to a small-batch farm yarn, has done so well!  Sawkill farm is in New York State, right near Rhinebeck - and these sheep are owned and tended to by the Robertstons and their adorable baby Rollo!  They are such a sweet and hardworking family, making ends meet in the important but often undervalued business of family farming.  Plus, the fleece is spun at Green Mountain Spinnery, so it gets even better in terms of a yarn made by amazing people.

So if you know me at all, you know how happy I am to see this rustic, sheepy goodness out there and know that the knitting community is embracing it, and that people are seeing Sawkill's beautiful fiber, and yeah, also - that my design is still in there!!

Next round's up - you can vote here!
