Smart as a sheep?

Today's Fun Fact to Know and Tell© (courtesy of Yahoo's Oddly Enough newswire): If you thought foxes were the crafty ones, get a load of these brainy sheep in the UK.

First. I got my secret pal! I got my secret pal! WOOOO!

Second. How incredibly awesome is Heidi for pulling this thing together for us?! I am sure there will be unhappy people (there always are).

I have had the "Z" or "N" formation recommended to me. Any thoughts? Right now the new yarn joins are temporarily knotted and they still look like big ole holes!

I really wanna finish this thing before I start my Grandma's shawl. But I really wanna start her shawl, like YESTERDAY! Ugh. Oh well. There's all weekend to think about it.

Here's hoping everyone out there has a fabulously restorative weekend!
