I made this little sheep quite a while ago some time in April.
He’s a toilet roll holder.
I made it for LoopyLouey, a.k.a Lois. She had a bad week then and I wanted to cheer her up. *Shakes fist at the person who caused her grief* She named him……….. SHEEPY. Hahahahaha.
Name of project: Sheepy! Toilet roll cover
Yarn: I think it was Kmart Clinker in Beige? And Cleckheaton Country 8ply in White.
Needles: Opps… I can’t remember!
Cast on date: April 2008
Cast off date: April 2008 (Completed in a few days)
Learned: Nothing. This is a heavily modified pattern. See below.
Modifications: I modified a pattern for a piggy toilet roll cover and added loopy stitches to it to make the sheep’s ‘fluff’. The pattern for the nose and eyes and ears were from a pattern for a sheepy tea cozy.
Mistakes: The first one I casted on, I did the loop stitches every two rows and on every stitch. My thumb almost dropped off. So I ripped it out and did the loop stitches every two rows but on every other stitch instead.
(He looks like he’s contemplating… )
I think I may make another for other friends. Tee hee hee.
