Lambs and Longies

A new lamb has been born. Looks just like her father, Walter.

She's got a pretty dedicated mum too. The lamb was born out in the field. When Jessie and I went to help them get back to the barn, the mum ran away. But every time she hear her lamb, she ran back to protect it.

When I picked up the lamb to lead the mum back to the barn, she ran past me and nearly shoved me into a thorn bush. Pretty fearless for a ewe.

Also, I've been working on a pair of longies to wear under my pants in the mill during the winter. The pattern is from Elizabeth Zimmermann's book, Knitter's Almanac.
