Someone told me that every spinning wheel needs a sheep to look out for it. I used this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sheep-in-sheeps-clothing# to create the sheep on the left of the picture, who sits in the handle of my Ladybug, keeping an eye on things.
The sheep on the right is on a long journey oop north to make sure all is well with a wheel and it’s new family. It arrived today (so much for first class post, it was posted on Thursday and arrived Tuesday…) and is currently having a name chosen in a very democratic manner!
Update: Names were drawn from a hat and the sheep is now named…. Corynthia
Lovely gift! I hope they have more luck with their election than the country has just done!
