Crochet for a change. This is Herdy from the English Lake District. I bought the kit for my daughter for Christmas and she wanted me to try out the pattern to see how hard it was before she made a start!<br /><br />
He now has a sister. Her hat has a little brim. I placed her head differently and I have a feeling she looks more like a polar bear than a sheep!

That's a cute sheep, nice work. Is the hat separate or part of the head? I love his tiny ears!

The hat is separate (and keeps falling off.) The ears are great aren't they? To crochet them you split the yarn and use a much smaller hook.

He's as beautiful as the Lake District. Well done and what a good mom you are.

He's so cute. This reminds us of our time in the UK - with the very enjoyable Lake District close-by. (Do you have snow right now?)

No, but she hasn't done a great deal.

I love the fact that you have been asked to carry out a trial for your daughter. Just wondering what your comment to her was from easy to hard. Anyway Twm and I were looking at Cute earlier and he said he liked Herdy. Presumably made from Herdwick wool?

Very cute. I had to teach myself crochet because my mother showed me tooooooooo fast. I kept telling her try slow they say the hand is quicker than the eye.... hint,hint. Once her hand hit the needle she was in rocket mode.

It isn't easy to slow down and still be doing the same thing!

Flowers for all - the sheep (is it: "It" or "He" (judged from the blue colour) or a "She" sheep ?) is so cute and I am glad you're sharing!
What I like best is the fact that your daughter asked her in so many
ways talented mother to do the trial first. It shows the daughter is
like mom: a very clever minded woman with a good sense of humour too.
Wishing you a very Happy 2015 - and please - a lot of these cute
sheeps too :-)

I'm still not sure if it is He or She! I have another one almost finished which will be she.

How cute! From the beautiful outcome you have made it seem easy. Though, I am sure it wasn't ;-) Your daughter is very fortunate to have a talented mom who gladly teaches by doing!

I really like his hat and scarf. Makes him look so debonair/Lillian
