Knitwit, Shaun in the City, 2015
Today is World Knit in Public Day so I am posting this sheep.
The group I go to (Stitching Angels at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Langhorne, PA) is having their Knit in Public Day on June 24th.

Shaun doesn’t like getting shorn – except when he gets his own wool back as bright and chunky knits! Illustrator Adrian Barclay has made him look very cozy indeed in this outfit. It’s exactly the kind of thing Shaun’s granny might have knitted him when he was just a little lamb..

Look for another post today after 3:00 p.m.

Life Aquatic, Shaun in the City 2015
This sheep wants me to go to a swim class this week.

 For their deep-sea design, illustrators David and Jodie Partington (Peskimo) decided to cover Shaun in lots of sea creatures – the life aquatic is certainly a new experience for this farm-loving fellow!

Justice Lamb, Shaun in the City, 2015
I am volunteering tonight at Bristol Riverside Theatre in PA for Witness for the Prosecution  
so I thought about this sheep which was in Bristol, England. 

 Order in the court! Justice Lamb is an expert on the law, having trained at the baa-r for many years before becoming a judge. Artist Mike Ogden has given him a fine wig and robe so that he always looks his best when presiding over the court!
