My first loopy sheep was looking a bit lonely (and there was half a ball of yarn leftover) so I made it a friend. The kit makers were rather generous with the filling so I shall have lots of organic filling for the next few toys that I make, which is nice. The second sheep turned out very wonky, not sure quite why this happened and so I had to put in some long stitches through the body and tie them tightly to straighten it out. I did the feet differently too, on the first sheep I made little bases for the feet and sewed them on and on the second I just stitches around the ends of the legs and pulled them closed - this looks neater and was a lot less faff.It is a shame that the weather decided to be crappy today, so they are indoor sheep rather than lawn sheep.
I have now started on a pair of Jitterbug socks for my sister for her birthday. There's only a cuff at the moment, so I'll take a picture when there's a bit of pattern to look at.

They're lovely and such fun! Not bad value if you can get the two from one kit.
Oh they are so lovely!!!
I do like the sheep, so cute!
How cute are they :)
LOL. I love them! Little loopy sheep. <3
Aren't they just great, you have the beginnings of your own little flock.
I am a huge Cocteau Twins (1985 and earlier) fan! I have it on my list to try and get a CD of theirs. It sadly does not rise to the top. I think it was so neat to see that as one of your favorite groups. I am not familiar with any of their music after 1986.
I saw your stuff on Ravelry. I am Naturegal.
I have a blog if you care to check it out. (link on Ravelry)

Less faff is always a good thing. They're great.
oh, how cute - a second one ;)
Stumbled upon your blog by accident. The name said it all. Then discovered those marvelous loopy sheep of yours. They deserve titles as well as names, truly great job
