A little about Ken Gossard . . .

Kenny Gossard has been knitting for the majority of his life, learning at the age of six.  “But,” he says, “I learned from old world style knitters.  It was important for them to be able to knit fast enough to keep a family clothed and generate household income. 
Being raised with sheep just makes it all the better. As I learned at a young age, wool is the best fiber for long wearing warm garments. 
I have taught classes on the older style techniques here in the Midwest and East Coast.
In my non-knitting life, I raise a flock of registered Romney sheep.  I live in a tiny house I built from mostly reclaimed materials.  I am learning how to make the smallest carbon footprint that I can.”
