    That is waaaaay too cute. I want one.

  2. Mush says:

    Okay. I’m going to knit one for Aimee first, but I’ll seriously knit you one if you really want one. They don’t take that long, the yarn isn’t expensive, and I love shrinking stuff in the washer on purpose.

  3. Bucket says:

    I’m personally willing to BUY one or two for my kids. Seriously.

    Very cute, indeed! Guess what…..I just got back from vacation at my best friend’s house in North Carolina. Her family and mine went to Myrtle Beach together.

    Anyway….she taught me to crochet (some easy stuff to start off with). She also tried to teach me to knit. However, after having started the crochet stuff I decided I was getting thoroughly confused trying to learn to knit on the same day. So I didn’t quite figure out the knitting. But I have crocheted a little square in practicing and I have the directions to make a cute little poncho for my daughter!! I am so turning into the domestic goddess I always knew I could be!!!

    I still want to learn to knit, I bought some supplies and needles for it…they had a do it yourself kit at Wal-Mart that I might buy, but sometimes those diagrams just confuse me worse. I’ll email you if I get stuck somewhere!

    Actually, I’d BUY two of them. Let me know. The Did and the Goat (niece and nephew) will love them!!

  7. Mush says:

    Wow. Okay. So I’ll do Aimee’s first, then yours Coot, then I guess a couple for Bucket. Y’all don’t have to pay me, but you will need to buy the yarn. Yarn for one is about $12.

    Anybody want a black sheep?

  8. Franklin says:

    That sheep is too absolutely completely obnoxiously freaking adorable.

  9. Cootera says:

    Sweeeeeeeeeeet!! Then what? Maybe just maybe just maybe you’d come up to IC so I could pay ya and collect the little sweeties and buy you a Southern UTI or whatever you call those things?

    Oh, and would the black sheep have a grey face or would he be all black?

  10. Mush says:

    Southern UTI? You mean a Scarlet O’Hara?

    Here are the sheep you can choose from. Basically, if you want a really fuzzy one, I’ll add mohair. If you want a black sheep, I’ll use dark grey heathered wool for the body and the face and hooves will be black.

  11. Cootera says:

    Oops… yep, I meant a Scarlet O’Hara. Southern Comfort/cranberry thing. Couldn’t remember the name.

    And whenever you get around to it, yes, yes, yes, I will take a white sheep and a black sheep!! Ya want I should send you a check in advance for the yarn, though?

  12. Mush says:

    Sure. Send me, oh, $25. That should cover yarn for two sheeps and polyfill and everything.

  13. Mush says:

    And YES, I’ll totally BRING them to you IN IOWA CITY and you’ll ply me with alcohol and… and… and

  14. Bucket says:

    I’m afraid I have to cancel my order. Madelyn has decided that she’s too old for stuffed animals (when the hell did she get to be 7, fer chrissakes?) and Joli is apparently terrified of sheep.

  15. Mush says:

    That’s fine! Now I only have to make three, rather than five! *whew* 😉

  16. Cootera says:

    Sweet!! Check’s in tomorrow’s mail! Hee hee hee… Scarlett O’Hara’s at George’s…
