feeling a bit sheepish

the wooly-brained ramblings of a knitter and novice spinner... it may be 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'...but it's mine ;-)

who says they don't shrink when they get wet ;-)


baaaaaah



pattern: Fiber Trends' "A Felt Flock"

yarn: handspun, un-dyed Bluefaced Leicester for the body, and Jacob for the ears, face and feet.

i spun singles finer than the yarn the pattern called for, as i was hoping it would felt down to Christmas ornament size (for the OrnaMental exchange)...it didn't quite work, but was pretty cute anyhow...so it got shipped off to Laura (along with a better sized ornament lol), where it is currently torturing her four-legged children ;-)

something tells me i'm gonna have to make myself one of these...

    oh bother :-\ apparently i deleted someone's comment when i shifted this post (blogger's apparently not allowing me to adjust the time stamp, and i'd originally written this last night)

    sorry about that, lucas, and thanks for the comment :-)
