    About

    I have already made several of Amanda’s sheep cushions and hubby wanted a little sheep to go with his cushion. I have a feeling that I’ll be making several more of these as he gets seen by the other cushion owners!
    He’s called Snowball because he’s a fat little round ball and it’s the height of summer ...

        Thanks Michelle. I would have a flock if I hadn’t given most of them away - they make great gifts!

      Beautifully knitted Karen, I tried this pattern a year ago but it didn’t work out so I’ll have another go now I’ve seen yours!

        I've made several of these now Dianne. The increases are a bit tricky because of the moss stitch pattern, but I found that once i got into the rhythm of it, it was okay. Just keep counting!
        Oh - and a tip for sewing on the feet - use a felt tip pen to mark where they should go and don't fasten off the stitches holding them in place until you have sewn them all on and are happy with the placement (learnt that one the hard way ...)
