Sweet Sheep Fiber Club
I have been enjoying the beautiful weather in Atlanta (minus the tornado). There has been a lot of fiber discussion this week which has lead me to spark up the fiber club again! I am really excited to do the club again as I have been exploring new techniques.
Here is the official description:
The Sweet Sheep fiber Club is back with a new format!
This subscription is for 3 consecutive months of fiber. The fibers will change from month to month so you get a variety of fibers, which makes the club great for beginning spinners too!
Braids will be between 4-5 oz of roving and 2oz on months of luxury fibers.
Fibers will ship by the end of the month. This round runs from April-June.
At $70 the cost of the club includes air mail shipping.

Option 1: I have chosen 3 patterns that I will reveal on March 1st. Pick the one you like the best and the first person to finish will win a SWEET prize pack that I am putting together including a skein of my handspun.
Option 2: A no pressure KAL where you pick your own sweater pattern and just knit along with us for the month for fun!
We would love to have you along! If you are interested in joining send me a little email and I will send you an invite for the MSM blog...it is that easy.

Huge Inventory Sale
It is that time again my friends…time to count my inventory for taxes….I fear this more than dropped stitches in lace.
I would really rather knit…and the amount of yarn around here is not a one day job to count…so I thought I would make it easier on myself and have a HUGE sale next week.
The Sale will begin on Tuesday as I will be taking our newest holiday “family day” off to knit and gather my strength before I tackle the books!
Happy Knitting!

Thank you from The Sweet Sheep
Thank you all SO MUCH for the incredible response and support of Evangeline. (Pattern can be found at www.magknits.com) I am truly overwhelmed and flattered by your comments and those sent to me on Ravelry. I had no idea she was going to be on the cover which made the first day of 2008 just that much sweeter. Please send pictures of your mitts!
I am currently working on something for a spring issue of magknits so stay posted!
Things have been a little quiet on the blog, but behind the scenes it is certainly not. I have finally gotten all of your boxing week sale orders out (thank you) and am finishing getting the clubs out. I am also preparing some kits for Anne’s (www.knitspot.com) next shawl pattern featuring Sweet Lace.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that Funky Carolina Lace and Sock yarns are up as well as her incredible Spin a Sweater Kits! Please take the time to check these out, you won’t be sorry.
Welcome 2008, it is going to be a great year!

Sweet Sheep Store Update!
Good Morning Yarn Lovers!
We have some fantastic updates to share with you.
There is a new Mystery Dyer at the Sweet Sheep. We have decided to structure this round a little different. First of all, we will be posting some clues as to who the dyer is. Clue #1, this mystery dyer is Canadian!
Secondly, I have noticed that several of you like to buy the mystery dyer along with other yarns and therefore end up paying shipping twice, so I have lowered the price and taken the shipping out of the cost of the skein so it can be sent with the rest of your order!
Also new to the shop is Rabbitworks yarns. Janice has worked very hard to send us an order of beautiful sock yarns from her "toe jam" line. These yarns are non repeatable and incredibly soft! Make sure to check them out!
In the area of restocking we have added more Briggs and Little, Sweet Sheep Fiber and Sweet Sheep Faerie Feet. Thank you all so much for making the Faerie Feet line a success. Keep checking back as I am working on some new Faeries to join the line!
I have recently launched a new line dyed by The Sweet Sheep called Sweet Lace. These skeins of lace are very subtle solids that work well with any lace project!
Last, but certainly not least, fans of Ceyeberfiber yarns will have noticed that Mama E has closed down the retail portion of her site in order to keep up with her wholesale demand. That means the Sweet Sheep is now the EXCLUSIVE online site with Ceyeberfiber Yarns! We have her stunning elements series in stock, her beautiful shaded solids, the Ceyeberfiber lace and incredible rovings and are always working with Mama E to bring you more!
Things are shaking and moving over here...make sure to stop by and check out what's new!

Store updates
It is amazing how taking 5 days off can really pile up the wonderful new yarns.
I am slowly working on getting the site updated.
Recently added:
A HUGE group of Funky Carolina Rovings! Carrie has done it again with her stunning rovings. These braids are moving quickly, so run on over and get one for yourself
Some new colours of Malabrigo Lace and Worsted. I have several other colours on backorder and will let you know when they are in.
A quick note on the Malabrigo Lace, I was forced to change suppliers and the new supplier has higher prices. This stock will remain at the lower price until I receive the new stock.
Going up in the shop today will be a wonderful new line called Marisol.
I have brought in the 100% baby Llama yarn. Yes! Baby Llama…it is INCREDIBLY soft! Marisol is a free trade company who brings their yarns in from Peru. This means that everyone is treated well and paid well for their work on these yarns. Marisol is also using their profits to build a school in the village where the yarns are made to support the local children. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jane Ellison who travelled to Peru and told me of the wonders that this company is doing for the community. It was very inspiring. I hope you will check it out.
We also have some absolutely adorable Sweet Sheep Knitting Needles coming later today. Sweetie is now perched high upon the end of you needle to help you create something beautiful. These needles are exclusive to The Sweet Sheep and in limited quantity.
I will post on the blog when they are all up in the shop www.thesweetsheep.com/blog
More updates coming...stay tuned

I am once again calling on the kindness and power of knitters to show your support. And just because we all love yarn, I will be putting together a beautiful PINK package of yarn and goodies as a prize!
For every $10 donated your name will be entered into the drawing for the Pink prize. I will be sourcing out some of my knitty friends to donate their wares to the prize package and will let you know as I have people committed.
Please help me raise money to STOP breast cancer in it’s tracks!
Here is a list of all who are donating prizes
Yarntini, Yarn Pirate, Ceyeberfiber yarns, Zen Yarn garden, Zen Strings, Perchance to knit, Amy Singer is donating a signed copy of No Sheep for You, Shelridge farms, Funky Carolina, Pigeonroof Knits, Sundara Yarn, Seacoast Handpainted Yarn, and the talented Sivia Harding.
