For the Shepherd's Cottage it seemed appropriate to use wool and again I wanted to use natural elements that were around. I found two long branches and began knitting with untreated wool. This process was quite frustrating - the thin bits on the ends of the branches snapped off, shortening the length. Other problems such as transferring the stitches branch to branch was difficult as I didn't want them pointed at the end. While I was knitting the piece it started to look like a white flag and I began to think of the notion of surrender...........
