Sewing up a blasted sheep….

I think my children would have loved the idea...

Witzend you could do a "sister" sheep in (say) white with a cream front leg???

I saw a tip on Instagram to use slim foam hair rollers (like pool noodles but much smaller!) inside the legs of knitted animals to give them structure?
I’ve not tried it as I actively avoid anything that needs stuffing ?

Witzend, if you double over pipe cleaners or use thick matchsticks you can insert in the sheeps legs prior to stuffing them. That is what I do and they do stand upright (most of the time)

Great idea, thanks Billybob4491. These aren’t actually stuffed, just little rolled-up strips, but I do actually have some pipe cleaners and I’m sure a section inside would help.

Dennis Wheatley!

Callistemon, have you actually sewn up some of your languishing bits? If so, ??!
I thought at first that you meant real sheep, as in mint sauce! If one looks like a dog are you sure it’s not a Bedlington Terrier instead - they do look rather like sheep. But very sweet.

I can't decide if it looks a dog or a pig, Witzend, although as I bought it at a stall of knitted goods at the Cotswold Farm Park it could be a rare breed!
