Ok, so Brian the Sheep may owe a little in looks to Shaun the Sheep...some things are just so deeply embedded in the psyche there's no getting away from it. I obviously watch too much (childrens!) TV.
Brian has already made his debut on Instagram (my new favourite place) and I'm finishing up putting the pattern together for retail soon. I've used a gorgeous hairy yarn from Drops which I got when they were doing an Alpaca event. It's worth watching their website as every now and then they do a promotion with 25% or so off various yarns - good time to stock up...(I'm still wondering what to do with the stripey sock yarn I got last time)
I'm a bit new to textured yarn and discovered that you have to work it inside out since all the texturey bits end up on the wrong side. I'm going to have another go at it using a loop stitch instead of a textured yarn, I think that normally works wrong side out too. I'll post the results here or Work In Progress on instagram. :)
I actually intended to make him an all white sheep, maybe black ears but discovered I'd actually run out of white yarn. I've still forgotten (too poor to buy it anyway!) to get any more so, the next prototype may be a teensy bit multi-coloured. Depends what I can find in my stash..stripey sock yarn here I come..
