My Mom still loves her sheep. Dad takes her to visit the sheep in Colonial Williamsburg several times a week. She needed her own.

Has to be washable.

swatched with 17’s, too loose, go to 15s to get tighter fabric to hold in stuffing.

Bobbles in bulky yarn - not the most fun knitting in the world. Making myself work a minimum of 4 rows a day. This is pretty hard on my hands. Trying to knit back backwards, but so far that is slower for me.

April 1 - Abscess in right hand index finger has kept me from knitting for weeks - back at it now slowly and planning on finishing in time for Mothers Day. Still trying to stay on 4 row per day rate. Brutal on hands.

april 14 - finished body of sheep. hooray!

Then it took me forever to dig up the right sized needles and finish the head, ears and tail. I stuffed the head as the yarn I used was a little limp. Also sewed up the tail as I thought that was a little more realistic.
