The woolly blog-trotting begins (blog 1)

Great excitement here in woolly land. Three of the Flutterby flock are packing their bags and preparing to go blog-trotting.

 
Chalky is using a little woolly hat to carry his travelling essentials.

 
Charcoal has his things in a red and white knitted hankie tied to a stick, 

and Lilac is kindly lending Rose her lurex bag. Lilac isn't travelling with the others, she prefers to remain at home and guard the flowers (especially the yellow ones).

Blogland is a huge place, but the woolly threesome seem undaunted by the trip. Looking at the map most places seem to be just a hop, skip and jump away.

Their first visit will be to America where fabulous Fred with his beautiful curly coat is waiting to greet them at Ivory Blush Roses. Rose the sheep is looking forward to seeing the lovely crazy quilting done by Fred's creator Lisa. Do take a look at these little works of art whilst you are visiting.

What fun! Where will be next?

* Don't forget, if you knit a little sheep using my pattern and picture it on your blog let me know as soon as you can. The Flutterby flock plan to visit just 10 blogs before coming home and would love to drop by and see their woolly cousins during their tour.

Until next time,
Eli

These little darlings are just so very cute. (Haven't had any tulips breaking there necks so to speak, yours must have been magnifiently large)

Dear Eli,

These little sheep are just darling!! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern! As soon as I've got one knitted up, I'll let you know.

I also have a question - I fell in love with the doll in your header the minute I saw her! Is there a pattern available for her as well, by any chance?

Hi Eli, your little flock is just adorable, I am going to take the pattern along to my 'knit get together' in a couple of weeks time and have a go at one. We are surrounded in sheep and lambs at the moment and I really don't like to think of eating them until I think roast lamb and mint sauce and I just have to tuck in. Your garden is stunning mine needs attention the buttercups are taking over at the moment but give me a day and it will be back under control.
Hope you are not having this persistant wind it is knocking the flowers over which is such a shame.
Bye for now
Jan

Hi Eli
Your globetrotting sheep brought a smile to my face. They are so sweet!Is it okay if I mention your blog next week one day? I think lots of other bloggers would like to visit, so I'd like to tell the ones who visit me.
Hugs, Rhondi
