I cannot believe it has been one complete year since I last wrote. So much has happened in that time though, that I suppose I'm not terribly surprised. So here I find myself again, readying for the Christmas season, with boxes of my ornaments nearing completion. Last year I posted about a new design, the sheep. He has changed a little this year, and one particularly fat specimen would not fit into an ornament case. I handed him over to my fella, Rob, and he now holds a place on my office armoire. Complete with four legs, I confess, I love him very much. Perhaps I will make you some friends soon, little sheepy.
Below is a photo of the ornaments in progress. There is one black sheep in this year's collection, but we've grown rather close this month, so he may stay with me for a little while yet. A little shy of their own wool, or perhaps finding it itchy, these are sheep dressed in alpaca's clothing. Truly. Thanks to The Purple Purl on Queen St. E. in Toronto, for dressing 2011's sheep! This is also a great little spot to have a coffee and do some knitting incidentally, and I do recommend checking it out if you're in the city.
Next up, a post about all six ornaments. And by next, I mean in about an hour. So much catching up to do!
Fantastic! What a good lookin flock.
