I now have a small flock of Herdies, 2 traditional like the Herdwick grazing in the photo above, and 2 wanting to be a little more flamboyant. Although they are Lakeland sheep mine were created in Scotland so the big Tup (Ram) is named Hamish.
Any ideas what I should name the ewes one being traditional another thinks she has the Golden Fleece and the last is a bit of a rebel. All suggestions gratefully received.
I might knit a 5th but not sure what colour. Any suggestions? 🤔
Fabulous ewe are sooo clever 🐑🐏
😂😂 Thanks Cecily. Any suggestions for names? Or is it a bad idea to name then because I then won’t want to part with them?
Ba ba ra? Baaa bie? 😂🐏🐑
😂😂🤣🤣 Love it Cecily! We need the Beach Boys for the first one! 😂😂 Well done. 👏🏻👏🏻 xx
Love these!
Thanks Horsewhisper, they were fun to make. I hope some day they’ll go for sale to raise funds for Lupus UK.
Really??? 😂😂😂
How about EWEgenie - (like the Queen’s granddaughter)!!😁
👏🏻👏🏻 Love it Horsewhisper. Very appropriate. 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh wonderful.. as ever! I like the cream one.. maybe a slightly lighter cream next? Love them x
Thanks DJK. 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ll see if I have a light cream in stock. Great idea. Do you think a black face and legs would be better so it becomes a black-faced sheep rather than a Herdie? Or keep it all cream? 🐏 Thanks again 🤗x
Oooo well you are the specialist on this one...I like the idea of having black legs and face... but if it's not a herdie would they be ostracised by the rest? Don't want to confuse them eh? 
I have to leave it to you but I think whatever you do, it will be wonderful. x
Aww, thank you so much DJK.🥰 No I don’t want to cause division in the flock. 😂 Mmm. Tricky. 🤔 I’ll have to think about that and surprise you. 😉 Thanks again for your kind compliment. 🤗😘x
Oh I love these - your so clever - as name choice - corona 🤷♀️😂 how about making a pink one , or is that too bright ? X
😂😂 Yes, of course Corona is perfect. The rebel should maybe called that, or should I keep it for the deadly shade of pink? 🤣🤣 Thanks farmer. x👍🏻
The rebel I think should be Corona 😂😂😂 x
😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻
Emanuel ewe el 🙈🤷♀️😂
They look good in a flock 👍
How about a blewe one (blue) 🤷♀️ Soz not good at this 😂😂
Great job 👍xx
😂😂😂 Great names Stiff. I love them! 👍🏻👍🏻 Blewe has to be blue but waht colour for Emanewel?
I can see another flock starting - cream, pink, blue......... 😂😂 That’ll keep me out of mischief! Take care lovely Stiff! 🤗😘
What mischief you been up to then 😂😂
Yes, that’s a good thing a growing flock 👍 a nice rainbow flock 😂
Eman ewe el conjures up a red or burgundy 🤷♀️ What do you think 🤔?
I think you’re going to be kept very busy 😂
Take care best wishes 🤗😘👍🐝
Doing myself a mischief more than anything by fighting with ivy and hawthorn - and they always win!! 😂😂 A rainbow flock is a nice idea. Yes, I think Emanewel would be good as a cardinal red or burgundy. I’ll see what wool I have in stock. Thanks for your great suggestions Stiff. 👍🏻👍🏻 Stay safe. 🤗😘
Don’t they just 😂😂
Good luck 👍🤗😘🐝
Thanks Stiff. Take care. 🤗😘🐏🦋🐞💐
Aaaaaa, sweet Spotty!! Ba Ba Black sheep, have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!! So cuddly cute, they all are.. Between you and Stiff, there is a home grown farm starting here. Wonderful!! . How about a green one? A name, how about "Celtic"? You have a blessed talent, and for such a good cause. Be well my friend, peace, love, thestormy sunshine
Hi Stormy, yes a green one named Celtic would be good, as long as I don’t have to knit a football for him. 😂😂 Thanks for the compliment. 🥰I’m not the best knitter by any means but they are fun to make and the inconsistencies and errors just add to their individuality. 😉 That’s my excuse and I’m sicking to it. 🤣🤣 Take care dear Stormy 🤗😘💕
Ha ha, dear Spotty, Celtic warriors? There are no inconsistencies in your herd flock, they are all uniquely You! With so many wonderful responses here, you can make a herd, and need a rod and staff..Someone needs to make that sheepdog Tykle mentioned, and the Herdies will be complete.. Keep on knitting, I'll send some Storm wool... Love blessings, thestormy sunshine:)💖😊😋😋💖
Hi Stormy, Storms wool would be ideal for the sheepdog! Haha. I can see I’ll be busy knitting for a long time!
My keyboard has packed up and the emojis don’t work now, so I’ll just say I’m sending you love and hugs and a big hug for Storm. Xxxxoooo
Spotty,You are to sweet, I hope you Emojis work, soon, as I know they show all our love, and care... Storm away!!!😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🐺🐺🐺🐑🐏🐑🐑💖💖💖
Hubby found the batteries in my iPad keyboard were down so he’s given me his keyboard until he can get new batteries. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So these are for you Stormy 🤗🤗😘😘🙏🏻🙏🏻🌞🌞😇😇
Take care 💕 Spotty 🐏🐥🐇🦋🐞🌼🌺🌸💐
Aaaaa, you are to sweet!!! Much Love coming your way Spotty!! Love, blessings, thestormy sunshine:)💗😊😊😊😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗💗
They're great Spotty. All you need now is a sheepdog to keep them in order. It sounds like there are a few rebels in the flock!
😂😂 Yes, I think there are a few rebels so a sheepdog is perhaps what is needed to keep them in order. 🤣🤣
Glad you like them Tykle.👍🏻 Take care.🤗
Sounds like there might be a few rebels in this thread creating this rebel flock in their own image. You know what they say...It takes one to know one! Except for ewe Spotty! All you wanted were a few suggestions 😉🐑🐏🐐🐑
D🏃🏽♀️
😂😂 I think you are right DR. Is somebody acting the goat among the sheep? 😂🤣 Thanks for the giggle. Take care, and ‘keep on running’, as the song says. 🤗😘
I’m running 🏃🏽♀️ in my mind these days. Hoping to one day be able to get back to it. Have done the impossible before. I certainly plan on doing it again. You know how the saying goes, it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission...or something like that😉❤️
D🏃🏽♀️
Aww, I hope it isn’t too long until you are able to run again even if only a very short distance. 🙏🏻 Tiny steps as they say. I admire your spirit and determination not to give up. 👍🏻👍🏻 Good for you! Take care D 🤗
