Ooooh, merino

Winter is coming fast and I'm keener to knit/crochet than saw. I've tried to extend my knitting abilities to something else than baby booties however my recent snood failure didn't help. Mind you, it meant I finished to watch NCIS's season 8 episodes and the cat has now been given a very comfy cover..sorry failed snood. Ahem...

The wool below will be used to make Milly the sheep. The pattern is available for free from  The Guardian. The balls are made of merino wool and silk. They're so soft and easy to knit with. I really enjoy using merino for booties since it can be cleaned at 30°C in a normal washing machine was.

With 3 babies planned before Feb. 2012, I need to get going!
