Bleated Birthday?

A little birthday sheep (doesn't everyone need a birthday sheep?) inspired by a typo.



About baseball sized, knit from mystery gray (natural undyed) stash wool and some dark brown wool nylon blend sock yarn. Bobbles for the ears, legs, and tail.

Ethnic Textured Stitches

Friday, all day, with Joan Schrouder.  We learned about Scandinavian Twined knitting, Bavarian Traveling Stitch patterns, and making bobbles.  I don't really like bobbles.  

Details of Large Swatch:

My twined knitting.  You knit with two strands of the same yarn, alternating stitches.  Creates a very smooshy fabric.  

The Bavarian Cable I knit up.  They cable a twisted knit stitch for a raised more defined pattern.
