I thought you might like to meet Geoff

 He was fun to knit using my homespun Gotland x shetland wool.

First Home Spun Project.

I've done lots of spinning since I treated myself to a spinning wheel and have approximately 3,117yds of plyed yarn ready to use. I've spun wool from Jacob, Shetland, Norwegian, Merino and Blue Faced Leicester  sheep. I've only used a small amount of it though and this is my first home spun project.

Lavinia's Friend.

I thought that Lavinia the knitted fairy should have a friend.
So here he is :-

EDWIN

I think they will be good friends.

Rambo

 He's only a youngster so he hasn't got his horns yet, but he his definitely a male sheep and he is called Rambo.
Alright, I know, it's not very original, but it suits him and that is what his name is going to be.
Here he is:-







He is supposed to be a doorstop, but someone has different ideas.

Ollie thinks that Rambo makes an excellent cushion and he thinks he may claim him for himself, but Doohie thinks not.

Another finished project. Top marks Elizabeth for guessing what he was going to be.

For the Christmas Tree? Maybe, I haven't decided.



Another project underway, but what is it going to be?






Watch this space.
