Yes I think he's done a couple - there was one in last year's Simply Knitting and one in Woman's Weekly but you might be able to buy the pattern separately Christine Cool

Well, sadly I only managed to finish three sheep before Christmas - so no display this year Sad

BUT, all the bits are done and I'm going to make finishing it my January project.

Nevis - your's looks fab - think I'd have been more sensible to knit it up in bits than to go the whole hog!

Thought I'd revive this thread, if only to try and encourage me to finish my set. Sadly it's no further forward than it was at the beginning of the year - three legless sheep Shocked

I know Janice has already begun, and Carol is contemplating starting - anyone else going to have a go?
