Happy Easter from the Easter Sheep! He is standing on top of felted bowls that I can't seem to stop making. They are Plymouth Pattern P537. I walked into Backstitches in Lynchburg a couple of weeks ago, and there sitting on the table, were two of these adorable bowls. They were made by the nicest lady, Robin. She is an avid knitter and spinner and hosts a knitting get away every January. You can check it out here: http://www.fortheloveoffiber.typepad.com/
Backstitches didn't have the pattern (they don't carry Plymouth) so Linda and I took a trip up to Charlottesville to It's a Stitch and got it there.
These bowls knit up in an hour or less and are so much fun to do. Im going to put gift cards in them this Christmas. Much better than the store bought card holders, don't you think?
From bottom to top: 2 strands Norro Keuron, 1 strand of the same Norro and 1 strand Cascade, 2 strands handspun stash, 2 strands Cascade, 1 strand handspun stash and 1 strand Cascade.
This is a cute little needle felted Easter egg that I made out of some left over rovings. The light green has some angelina in it which gives it a nice sparkle.

The bowls are striking and I really like the colors you used. The egg is gorgeous. You do amazing work (and you did it while building a deck too). :)
