It turned into a lovely, sunny afternoon and I decided it would be fun to see if I could set up a "casting on" photo shoot with Baaxter and his soon to be banged out sweater. You can't do this with just any sheep. Oh, you could separate out that one sheep and lock them in a pen with the yarn and they might eventually go check it out, but to just set it out in the open... I was pretty sure Baaxer wouldn't let me down.
"Hey, Baaxter!"
"Baby B-e-e."
Poking he head around the corner of the barn. "What?"
"Remember the sweater I told you about?"
"Yeah."
"I brought the yarn and pattern out. Could you come over and check it out so I can take your picture?"
Slowly walking straight over to the Grahaminator. "Yeah."
He's a sheep of few words, but dependable actions (good and naughty ;-).
The real reason I felt pretty confident that Baaxter would come over and show interest in a knitting project is because Baaxter IS interested in wool projects. Remember how he reacted to his woven blanket?
Murphy was very interested as well. "I wish I could be a Carbeth."
"Guess what. You are! Your Auntie Elaine is knitting one up north with yarn she spun from you! :-)"
Probably the real reason Baaxter is interested in wool projects is because he's still got a little naughty streak in him ;-).
"Baaxter!!!"
Teefers are cute when you're a baby, but Not Around Yarn :-o.
Looks like we're ready to cast on!
