Of all the many materials available to weave with, my least favourite is wool. 

I have shunned it. I have ignored the wool shelves at Spotlight. I’ve found it to be yukky in my hands. It makes my fingers feel like they’ve been covered in fluffy moisturiser.

Wanting to push myself into the yukky zone, I decided that I would try wool.
I would give it the benefit of the doubt and see what it can do teamed with what I can do.  Vee and sheep. Hmmm, an interesting mix.  

So I tried it. It was a challenge.  It stretched and became fluffy with constant handling.

Wool and I fought.  We weren't on friendly terms.  I growled it often and asked it to not be so floppy.  It ignored me and became more floppy. I imagine it had come from a stubborn sheep.

I completed it and lovingly called it ‘My Baa-sket’ and thought “You're okay but that's enough of that!"
