I'd just opened up the bottom paddock for them, also known as a sheep party ;-). Maisie and Keebler out front. This year's Iknitarod sheep and last years.
Maisie and Blossom, still her best friend.
Besides Hank. Hank is sitting between me and the sheep. Sort of like he frequently sits between his sheep and the Stupid Horses. Remember that for later.
The sheep and the sweater.
Working their way around me in circles.
Tall Paul (Ewen McTeagle ;-) and Rebecca Boone, Burrnie, Emily, Billy Belly and Casper Belly.
So Hank guards the sheep, but he also guards me. He doesn't like when the Stupid Horses to come near me, but he's okay when the sheep do...unless I'm knitting. If I'm knitting and a sheep gets too close to my knitting bag, he races over and yells at them.
That is what had happened a minute before this picture. A mass exodus to the barn. Maisie followed for a couple seconds and then stopped.
"Wait just a minute."
"I ain't going in yet!"
And Keebs came back out too. Remember his brown leg? Still brown :-).
Crazy Maisie
The sweater is coming along, but I know my days are running short. I stayed at it until almost midnight last night. The body is at 9 1/2" and the sleeves are 11". I need 16 1/2" and 18 1/2" respectively before I put them together and knit the yoke and collar.. I'm hoping for a big push today.
