On another note, I have told you and told you again, that behind mine and my families apartment, there are a herd of sheep. A pretty good sized herd too! Probably about 10 sheep and 5 lamb. 2 of the sheep are pregnant too! I was out there looking at them late yesterday afternoon and noticed that they have their wool coat falling off in places. At first we all thought that, since some of them were bare, that the owners' were in the process of getting them all shaved for the summer months. Does their wool really just fall off? I guess so! I have been researching about owning and caring for a sheep for a while now for multiple reasons.
- I want to have sheep(s) when we get a house.
- I can make my own yarn out of their wool coat.
- I can dye fiber.
- It will be (thankfully) cheaper than going out and buying wool yarn. (Except for the feed and care stuff)
I finished Steven's beanie today, I'm thinking of going back and changing it up a bit later on though. Now I'm finishing Jack's beanie!
