I don't know if this August Wenkel is my August Wenkel.  Historically, German immigrants often made several trips back to the homeland, but this seems a bit late for my August.  so, #NotMyWenkel

Back on track

Christmas is over, and I am back on track.  I had to take a break in order to catch up on my Christmas knitting. This is an example of what I typically make out of my hand spun and home dyed wool yarn.  You can typically expect a weekly-ish post about the Wonderful Wenkel Family starting next week-ish.
