IRISH ARAN STYLE

My good friend Andrea from THE DOLL WORKS just sent me this set of hat, mittens, and scarf knitted in the Irish Aran tradition. Back in November I sent her some pictures of what I was looking for and she created my Sasha's heart's desire. The Aran style sweaters have an interesting history and tradition. Andrea sent this link to their fascinating story.
