I don't see why not, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start… This one is pretty cute, though!

My Obama socks were named that because I started them at the Obama caucus, so I'm afraid the pattern was just an ordinary 2×2 ribbed sock pattern. :) However, this pattern might be of some use to you! Good luck!

I'm looking for an Obama sock pattern. I noticed you are working or have worked on Obama socks — can you help me find a pattern or have you made one up? Thanks!

And this is why I belong to the Second Sock Syndrome Liberation group on Ravelry. I have vowed never to make the same sock twice. :)

Gleep! I forgot to tell you, I'm home, anytime you are ready you can email me the pattern and I'll try it out - moonrose at moonrose dot org is probably the best address! baaaaaaaaa!

Hm. I didn't look at the full size pics (I'm assuming those go to bigger pics, at least)… and on my wee laptop only saw six bonus sheep. Alas.

Bag goes slowly. If work would quit being a really awful sweaty awful bitch… Oh well.

Sneaky sheep is adorable.

[...] I was surprisingly pleased with this scarf. Dark Horse Fantasy is definitely the nicest acrylic I've ever laid hands on, and I'd work with it again, no problem. And the pattern came out lovely! So lovely that I decided to do something I've never done before — I wrote up the pattern. [...]

The pattern is "A Felt Flock" from FiberTrends! I'm "SheepLass" over on Ravelry, and the rainbow sheep are getting posted as I finish 'em, too. :) I have a Camoflauge Sheep I really need to post there. :D

Hey - just wanted to stop by and say that I love your blog, and that I have a non-wow blog (it's my link) where I talk about knitting and spinning sometimes! I love the sheep!

<3 Anna

Oh - and I've found that though I vastly prefer natural fibers (give me wool, cotton, or linen anyday. bamboo too!), some of the newer synthetic blends are really quite nice.

Hi, Sandy! Take a look at this post — I go into some detail on abacus bracelets (including where I got mine) :) I'm really pleased with them!

Comment on About Me by Anjela

Anjela — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:52:07 +0000

Hi Alison!

My best suggestion would be to try eBay; I've seen a lot of sheep come up there over the years, even replacements for dearly-loved ones. Sometimes it takes a few weeks, but it seems to be everybody's best bet. Good luck to you and your little one!

Our 'Woolo' is called Haggie,a much loved constant companion of my little boy. Today we've had to come to terms with the fact that we have lost Haggie whilst away for the weekend at Amroth Pembrokeshire. The tears are still flowing!! any ideas of where we can find a replacement.

I just picked up the book from the library. And wow, *many* of the pics here are crap for showing the pieces.
I usually transcribe charts to graph paper… but I'm thinking that may not work here… way way too big. Eep.
Well. I'll deal with it when the time comes, yeah?

Comment on Lace! Lace! Lace! by Anjela

Anjela — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:23:16 +0000

Not tough at all! The hardest part is following the chart, honestly, which is something like 81 stitches and doesn't have any markers to help you out. I've taken to putting a piece of paper above the row I'm working on as a visual guide and muttering out loud with every row. It gets easier when you've been going for a while, though, 'cause you can sort of line up your current row against the last one. :)

wyomingnot — Wed, 07 May 2008 05:42:31 +0000

Dang, that's some serious progress. I itch to start on it myself, but I'm standing firm on not starting until I've finished something. And heck, I just finished a wrap, so. Yeah.

I haven't actually seen the pattern, so I'm on the clueless side. How hard is this? Looks like it shouldn't be bad. Difficult enough to be interesting. Y'know?

Comment on Restart? by wyomingnot

wyomingnot — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 06:10:05 +0000

Cable needles aren't popular? *boggles* Okay, I tend not to use actual cable needles; I just grab an appropriately sized dpn and stick it behind my ear when not in use. I'd just lose cable needles. I have a hard enough time with my dpns as it is.

Never used row counters. I just count the rows. Goes to show how many big projects I've done. Yeah, that would be none.

Hi - I got here via Twitter... I hadn't realised that you're a fellow sheep collector. Hoorah! But anyway, I have some podcast suggestions for you. I agree that Lime and Violet is a good one, and I also like Stash and Burn, Knitter's Uncensored, Yarn Thing, Knitting Psychos... and a few others, but I think that'll do for now!

Hi Kathie! I just got your comment regarding your daughter's lamb. :)

I took a couple of pictures of all the Woolos in my collection. They look very similar to me… they just vary in terms of size:

http://gallery.sheeponmystuff.com/v/200803/woolos/

The first picture is all four of them, the second picture is just the smallest three so you can see a little more detail on them.

The one on the left is HUGE, though he measures only about 15″ tall when sitting. (If he were sat up straighter, he'd be taller, but he's so big that I couldn't get a picture of him "pulled up straight" on my own!) The second one is about 12″ tall when sitting, the third one is about 9″ tall when sitting, and the fourth one is about 6″ tall when sitting.

Woolo comes from the Russ Berrie company ("Woolo" is the name on the tag), and 2003 seems like about the right time for him.

I hope this helps, and that eBay comes through for you! I've had pretty good luck finding sheep there myself. :)

Hi There. After 2 weeks of frantically searching to replace my daughter beloved lamb, I am a least close. I am certain that "Lobby" is a Woolo. I've found a few on eBay, but they don't all look the same…. and I can't remember the details! After stumbling upon your website, you mentioned that many are in the Woolo family. You woundn't happen to know which style was sold in or around 2003 would you? I would REALLLLLY appreciate your help, the tears won't stop, and you appear to be the only Woolo expert out there! Thanks! Kathie

Love the bag. Very cute! Thanks for mentioning the slow. I'm glad you like it. I would suggest Socks in the City if you haven't checked it out yet. Lime & Violet are fantastic. Also, the Knitting News Cast, though it hasn't been updated in a while.

What a very cunning bag!

A woman walks around with a bag like that, and you know she's not afraid of anything. *grin*

I keep thinking I should make such a bag. A good felted bag. I feel inspired. But still mired in a very long, excessively cabled scarf in a yarn I do not like (but I'm knitting for a friend), so I shall wait.

Comment on The end of a bog jacket. by SheepLass

SheepLass — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 22:18:57 +0000

I can't bear to! I wasn't fond enough of this yarn to try using it again, and also, the way I wove in ends (de-plying the yarn and weaivng in each ply individually) would make frogging it a misery.

Have started up again with more stash yarn, and it's going much better this time! I hope!
