    Hi Melissa,
    I love the small little flock you have acquired. They look so sweet. RE: Darning. I am not a fan but seeing the numerous beautiful darning eggs in your book was very interesting. I have one old wooden darning egg used only to Kitchener my sock toes!
    If I’m lucky enough to win your giveaway, I would love the orange yarn. I have been obsessed with peachy/orangey yarn lately to make a shawl and finding a nice color is difficult.

    Good Luck with your flock,
    Sharon

    Happy Belated Birthday!! I’d love some Fleece to Spin . . . I’ve just gotten started . . . Created 18yards so far on a top whorl drop Spindle, and have asked my husband if he will build me a Spinning Wheel . . . But until that is crafted and I can spin larger amounts I’d use my Fleece to wet Felt my KittenCat a “cave” . . . He is one Awesome Cat & deserves a Wooley Hangout!

    Happy Birthday! How exciting! This time next year you could be spinning or knitting from their fleece! What a birthday! Boy that yarn would make a nice chevron lace shawl. Can’t wait to see the sheep progress.

    Happy Birthday! Love the kimono cardigan, must be fun to knit this in a newborn size! Your choice to go for the 18 months size is very wise. Sheep must be a lot of fun, sometimes I fantasize about goats in my wild garden, they could really help! Love the peach yarn! I would make a warm cowl.
