Meet Betelgeuse...my father's Jacob ram. He and his family help provide us with wonderful colored and white wool. The Jacob sheep is an ancient breed and gets its name from the story in the Bible about Jacob and his father-in-law, Laban. Check out the book of Genesis. You will notice that Betelgeuse has four horns...that's right, four. Jacob's are one of the breeds which are polycerate, meany "many horned".
Have you made something from one of my patterns? Email me a picture and I will put it here for everyone to admire!
This is Melissa's version of the Life's a Beach Tote Bag. You can see her other work on Ravelry where her name is requin. Thanks for sending the pic, Melissa!
Trish made both of these lovely hats...would you believe she actually learned to crochet by making these hats?!?!?!?!? Amazing! You can check out her blog at http://heylady.net/2009/03/02/some-knitting-and-crochet-projects/
Thanks for sharing, Trish!
This lovely chapeau was made by Jennifer, who chose to find the yarn that the hat was originally designed in, Louisa Harding's Kimono. You can find Jennifer on Ravelry as 2manydogs. Thanks Jennifer!
This hat was made by one of my readers. This is the Baby bunny hat featured on the cover of Luxury Yarns One Skein Wonders. She chose to use Classic Elite Yarns Lush. I think it was a wonderful choice. This reader's other works can be seen on Ravelry, where she's a volunteer editor and her ravelry name is Luna22! Thanks for sharing!
Here's another hat, made by 4everknitter on Ravelry, and she used Bernat Softee Baby Ombres and Prints. Thank you for sharing your talents!
....and another hat. Thanks to Guro, who used Garnstudio Silke-Tweed to make her lovely hat! You can also see Guro's other works on Ravelry.
