Note from Marly: I would like to thank my long

time friend Kristin Omdahl, for her contribution
to the Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™ collection.
I've always admired Kristin's ability to design
the perfect items for every yarn she uses. No
matter if it is a solid stitch or crazy lace, you
can count on something that is fashionable and
stylish. Her timeless design, Perfectly Panache
Poncho, is a favorite of the collection. To learn
