Knitting a flock of ESCs

There is a huge movement happening in knitting and crocheting communities around the world which began about a year and a half ago. I began knitting Emotional Support Chickens earlier this year and thus far have knit four sweet girls. Early on I ordered a five pound box of 100% wool filler from Mountain Meadow Mill in Wyoming because I wanted to make my ESCs with 100% wool (except for their safety eyes). Many thanks to Annette Corsino, owner of the Knitting Tree LA, for designing the Emotional Support Chicken pattern. ESCs are very huggable and really do provide some comfort during the surreal times in which we are all living.
