Now presenting Tico! Julio's new best friend!!

So, silly me thought that everyone stopped reading the blog because my comments said "0". Today I clicked on the link and there were comments. I don't know why it keeps saying "0" and why I waited so long to click. I changed a couple of things so hopefully that will fix it. So a big thank you all for the nice comments!!

I wish I could claim to have thought up the sheeps myself, but they are actually a Fiber Trends pattern. I'd highly recommend ordering the pattern. I used Paton's Classic Wool Merino and it felted fabulously. The sheep are quick to knit and easy to sew up. I plan on making more. I don't know what I'll do with a flock of felted sheep, but I think they'd be good to have around to gift to others (that is if I can bear to part with them).

Oh I just had an idea!

A CONTEST!!

To win your very own kim-made Sheep. Email me with your answer to the following questions (and subject line "Blog Contest"):

1. Who is Julio named after?
2. Who is Tico named after?

Here are a couple of hints: both are named after real people, I've never met either of them, but I've seen them both "perform" in person (although they don't "perform" together!). I don't think I've mentioned their names specifically on the blog (so don't spend hours searching the archives), but if you know a thing or two about some of my favorites, you can likely figure it out.

Send in your guesses by midnight on 6/28. Whoever answers both questions correctly wins! Of course, if more than 1 person answers corrrectly, then I'll make Kevin randomly pick a name out of a hat. If no one answers correctly, well, I'll still randomly pick a winner! So even if you have no clue, still enter a guess (heck, maybe I'll give a prize to the funniest wrong answers!)
