Baaa!

img_1305_1 Look who arrived here today–this cute little sheep, courtesy of Jennifer over at Major Knits.

In March, she asked for little balls of old sock yarn for an indisclosed project, and I won this little guy (girl?) for my contribution.

And, the project? These adorable notecards with real swatches on a real needle–and she made a point of sending note cards to each donor made from their own yarn. Isn’t that great? And even better, the rest of the cards are being sold for charity. Keep an eye out on her blog for a link–the cards are adorable.

Mom and I watched a video of Gershwin’s Crazy For You tonight, and I got about an hour and a half of knitting on my sleeve done. Gershwin, I must say, with his great rhythm . . . not to mention all the energetic tap-dancing numbers . . . is great for knitting to. Anyway, I’ve still got several nights’ worth of knitting to go, but the end is in sight. Now the question is whether I’ll need to wind that sixth skein of yarn, or if I’ll have JUST enough in this skein to finish it . . . either way, it’s going to be close! (I mean, I have the yarn here in the house, it’s just a matter of whether I end near the beginning of a new skein or at the end of the current one.)

Thanks again, Jennifer!

  1. Those Knit Notes are really cute - and I can’t believe the work she must have put into making all of those.

  2. I think you should wait to wind the last skein until the very last minute. Think of how cool a photo would be with a couple inches left over at the end.

  3. Cute sheep and nice cards!

  4. What a cute card, and super adorable sheep. And what a wonderful idea on the card front.

  5. Both the cards and the sheep are really cute!
