"Shear Anticipation"

The sheep are finished!!! I ran the pink sheep through the felting process four times, and it never quite felted up to my expectations. I absolutely loved the way the Cascade 220 felted up (the black sheep)! I take them to the store to be put on display tomorrow.

I had originally picked names for them, but thought of something a little more fun. Naming Contest!! I ran the idea by Meredith at MLYS (The Knaughty Knitter) and she loved it. So, until further notice, here are Sheep 1, Sheep 2, Sheep 3 and Sheep 4.

Sheep Pattern Information: Fiber Trends - A Felt Flock. Pattern Number 206X.













I was also contacted by a gentleman to repair his shirt. He dresses up in full Scottish attire and plays bagpipes at special events. I finally remembered to take some photos during the repair process. As for the after photos, can you tell where the machine stitches stop and mine start? Hope not!!
