Today’s blog is short and sweet. Although I’ve been distracted by boat stuff I managed to do a bit of hooking as well. A client asked me to design little sheep ornaments in keeping with the Santa ones we have. This is what I came up with and they were so cute I decided to hook them.
There is one sheep facing left, one right, one staring center on and one with its back turned, there's always one in every crowd, the black sheep of the grouping. Called “Coming & Going” I first hooked them with a Christmas feel using red plaid backgrounds but then pulled it all out and decided to have a bit of fun so they are more for year round enjoyment. I think the citrus wool representing Orange, Lime, Lemon and Grapefruit is yummy and that snap of colour really pops the grey and black but they would be equally lovely with a primitive look or reds and greens for festive appeal.
I hooked the bodies of the sheep in our light grey herringbone, the swirls and faces in the black herringbone and the legs and ears in solid black. The swirls are cut in #5 and the rest in is a #7.
We sell the set of four on linen for $34.95 and if you order them I’ll throw in a free bag of curly mohair for their heads. It can either be a bag of natural or dyed grey like I used, your choice, let us know when you place the order.
