Work in progress
I saw a picture of a sweater like this on a website, and thought I would try and make it out Peruvian wool. It's been ages since I did any knitting so it's been slow going. I used excel to lay out the sheep and dog pattern, then darned it on, figuring it was easier to darn it than to knit with 3 colors and try to keep count.

   

Back and front are finished, now it's on to the sleeves.

That would make a cool trim for a scarf too!

That's good- I mean really good!
You should come to the Lake District and sell them- if it has a sheep or BC on, the visitors will snap it up. I'm being serious here!

Wow, thanks for the compliments. I like the scarf idea, it would be quicker to knit than a sweater and one size fits all. How about one end of the scarf has the sheep and the other end has the collie? Wrap the scarf around you and watch as the collie catches the sheep!
