There's but one good use for lamb, lamb's wool garments are worth many
times more than their meat. Wool can be sheared for many years, you
get meat but once. It's only the lazy useless ignorant *******s who
eat lamb. My wife knits, many people willingly pay over $500 for one
hand knited lamb's wool garment... fancy schmancy NYC stores like Lord
and Taylor will happly pay over $500 each for all the garments she can
knit and sells them for twice as much. There are many breeds of
sheep, some fleece is worth over $1,000. Many school kids here raise
livestock for their fleece, easily pays for their college tuition. A
side benefit is never needing to mow.

Not to the shepherd. I know quite a few shepherds, and it can cost as
much to shear the sheep, as the price they receive for the fleece.
Cleaned, dyed, spun, packaged and promoted wool yarn _is_ expensive, though.

My father was raised on a range.... a rabbit ranch. They had to shear
the rabbits. He said that back in the 30's angora rabbit fur was worth
$5 a pound. It sounded like a lot, but you had to shear a lot of rabbits
to get a pound of fur.

Not expensive when the shepherd does it. Most people here who raise
sheep do their own shearing, cleaning, combing, dying, and spinning...
usually a family project. Not many know how to knit. A lot of very
good knitters have to pay someone to put the parts of a garment
together. A lot of people use knitting machines but that's not
knitting, it's weaving. Most of so-called knitted garments sold at
stores are not knitted, they are made on knitting machines.

Back in the 60s or 70s I had an Irish fisherhman knit sweater that had
been hand knitted my Mrs. O'Leary, according to a tag. Mrs. O'Leary
must have had a nasal problem because there was a lump of snot in the wool.

I have one that my Grandmaother ordered from an Isle of Lewis knitter.
56 years old and still worn every winter:-)
I have another that an aunt gave me. It is so beautiful that I am
careful to wear it only when there is little danger of something being
spilled on it,

It's expensive in time, when you raise sheep for a living.

True. When I ran a knit shop, we took in loads of garments for assembly
and blocking.

Knitting machines aren't new, they've been around since the _1500s_ -
they used to be called stocking frames, and what was produced on them
was called frame knitting (NOT weaving!).
I used to give presentations on various needlecrafts and their histories
at museums, church groups, and schools.

I hope I have this thing. I got it close to 50 years ago. I gained and
lost, gained more, lost more so I am not back to my old size. One of
our Covid19 isolation activities was a massive household decluttering
and a lot of old clothes were taken to GoodWill and Value Village.

I had an aunt who was into knitting for a while. She would knit ugly
sweaters for her soon. They usually didn't fit him, and he probably
didn't like them, so they would be passed on to me. I think I was
supposed to appreciate them more than I did.


When I was a kid woolen gloves and mitts were popular, probably more
popular among knitters than the kids who had to wear those useless
things. Make one snowball and the are wet and then dry funny and never
comfortable again.

That sort of thing gives knitting a bad name.

Sheldon's wife knits gorgeous things.
So do I - and they fit!

My wife knits everyday, typically during evenings while watching TV
and she always has a kniting project with her, so has something to
keep busy while waiting for a doctor's appointment. She knits
something for all new babies and for birthdays... she knits for
everyone but me... I'm allergic to wool and synthetic yarns are ugly.
She knitted me a couple of sweaters of cotton yarn but those weigh a
ton and offer little warmth. Since I have a full head of thick hair
she makes me hats and those don't bother me, but how many knitted hats
can one use, I must have a couple dozen already.
