Knitting Legends

For Earth Day 2006, our family made the decision to get chickens as part of being more connected to the earth. As part of the learning experience, the chickens were to be named after favorite authors. I was able to name two of our chickens, and here is the one named "Pearl" after the knitting legend, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. Yes, our "Pearl" likes yarn, and she likes to sit on the swing with me while I knit. She has even eaten my yarn, so I have to watch her as that would be a bad way to lose my stash! Here is Pearl & I and one of her (Stephanie's) wonderful books.
