We had 9 ewe-mazing submissions from 9 very talented craft artisans!!!

and #1 = Christine

These are darling (and believe me, the other 6 are just as special)!

MTTC #496 Anything Related to Sheep (lamb, shepherd, yarn, wool)

 Welcome to MTTC's #496 Theme of Anything Related to Sheep.

Sweater or Wool/Yarn or Shepherd or Lamb/Sheep!

This is a different approach for a themed challenge for this time of year but there are plenty of crafters who knit or crochet, who love Ugly Sweater Contests, and who love a farm topic or want to include sheep on a Christmas card. This doesn't have to be holiday-related. With crafting participants from around the world, it will be amazing to see what they find time to craft!

Please include at least 1 of the theme options OR you can combine all 4 together in your project!

Competition runs from December 2-15, 2022 with start and end times of 12am Central Time/Chicago or 6am UK.
