First Among Sheep

I made the very first sheep with a great handspun wool that was grown by Farrah and spun by Cassie of Farm Genevieve. (Farrah is a Shetland sheep.)

Such great texture.

I would have used him for my example sheep in the pattern, if it weren’t for his dark accents. I just couldn’t get pretty pictures! The dark was my my own bad judgement (and Ellie’s), but he looks great in person (and Ellie is pleased – his name is Sheepy)!

There are eyes in there I swear.

For a pattern, it’s kind of important to actually see what is happening in the illustrations.

Such a shame. He has a natural talent for modeling.
