Notes

After a spazzy false start, I’m using a loose interpretation of these patterns to knit up my sheepy handspun. All these are leftovers from My Sheep Alphabet] project last year. Fingers crossed!
25 Feb 19 - Trying to get back on track with a few rows…

  1. BFL, 5 stripes
  2. Charollais, 4 stripes 25 July - Might it be a Rhinebeck Sweater??? I’m using up my handspun samples til they run out, then I join the next…
  3. Cheviot, 6 stripes 26 July -
  4. Corriedale, 6 stripes
  5. Devon, 4 stripes
  6. Dorset Horn, 6 stripes 27 July -
  7. Eider, 6 stripes
  8. Falkland, 10 stripes 29 July -
  9. Finnish (Brown!), 9 stripes 30 July -
  10. Gotland, 5 stripes 11 Aug -
  11. Guté, 11 stripes
  12. Herdwick, 6 stripes 13 Aug -
  13. Icelandic, 2.5 stripes. The body is complete! Now to rib… Now that the body is finished, I’ll only have one stripe or two rows per breed to fit them all in before the cuff…

26 Aug - Time out to spin more yarn. I just realized I need to add the rest of the sheep. I just got busy knitting!
3 Sept - Finally enough collar! While there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Portage pattern, I did use some short row collar details from Dark & Stormy to save some time and knitting.
4 Sept - Working the first pocket…
13 Oct - My handspun Rhinebeck Sweater is finished!!!
