I finally managed to master the loop stitch (sort of) and made my first loopy sheep.
The loop stitch was a very fiddly and time consuming stitch but it does look great as a fleecy sheep!
As well as loop stitch I had to learn to do I-cords but as with a lot of knitting - they're easy when you know how! (Thank you YouTube!). I love the eyes which are made from circles of white felt and 5mm black beads.
I hope to make a few more of these to sell the knit and stitch stall at the local summer fair with the funds going to charity.
I used Amanda Berrys Loopy Sheep pattern and Stylecraft special DK yarn in black and cream.
