Cat versus Sheep . . .

Hello peeps - so much craft stuff going on at the moment - hence the lack of posts, but I thought I'd share some cute photos of our cat's first encounters with my neighbours sheep and lambs.  This is her first year during the lambing season - she was quite fascinated!  I documented a little encounter one morning last week . . . . .

Looking very interested . . . .


Getting closer and checking no-one's looking . . .


A little closer still . . .


This little lamb is moving in on the action . . .


Up close and personal (Awwwwww!) . . .


What -  you don't want to play!?  A bit indignant . . .


Looking sideways . . .


Looking at other avenues of exploration . . .


A better view from up here . . .


Aw, come on - the sheep have finally completely lost interest - good try though 'Ji-Ji'!


Well, it was a fun thing to watch - even although I only went out to take a photo of my knitting as it is very sheepish looking . . . .


I'm using some North Ronaldsay yarn from Orkney - the sheep graze on seaweed on the island - I was so intrigued, I had to try it out - it's lovely to knit with.  Very sheepy and soft and natural - here's the stage I'm at today with it . . .


Looking interesting but taking much longer than I had thought it would - ain't that always the way with knitty things!  I'll tell you more about this scarf in another post - time to have a relaxing morning Sunday coffee I think - have a lovely weekend!
