WIP Wednesday ~ Little Lamb

I have lots of spring crafting thoughts going through my head these days! There is so much great inspiration out there too. (Rhythm of the Home!)

So this here is what I call Angela's Little Lamb. She has written a wonderful poem as well which some of you may have seen in Living Crafts. I believe the pattern will be published on their website soon, but Angela had sent it to me a while ago. This is the first animal I have knitted other than hens and chicks, which are obviously as simple as can be. Hard to photograph a dark brown lamb, I would have preferred to knit it in natural colored wool, but this was all I had at the moment and I really wanted to get started. The girls are thrilled with him... we think it is him... He was half finished when the girls got sick. One day Chessa fell asleep on the couch with him in her little hand. His legs were not sewn on yet but he was already loved. I must confess though that he still has no tail.

Little lamb is standing in a flower meadow that the girls made. Do you see all those little flowers... teeny tiny ones cut carefully from fabric... It really is very pretty. To see the wonderful things that are created by my children makes me very happy.

Wishing you all many happy creating moments too!

He is so sweet! My youngest loves little things that fit into her hand, when you said your little one fell asleep with the little lamby in her hand (w/out the legs), it reminds me so much of Araina.

Love the teeny tiny flowers!
