Knit a sheep... knit a flock of sheep
Pattern to knit your own sheep or knit a flock.
Etsy Shop
I created this knitting pattern when I needed a flock of knitted sheep... and why did I need a flock of knitted sheep?
...well, it all started from characters in one of my books, But I'm Not Sleepy. I was doing a lot of book signings and my little flock of sheep were a great ice breaker to draw in customers, as well as a great talking point. I knitted a lot of sheep! I knitted so many sheep that they were in danger of overrunning my writing, so the obvious solution was to produce a knitting pattern so that I could get back to my writing.
The pattern for these sheep is now in my Etsy shop
...if one thing doesn’t work, take a step back and try it from a different angle or perspective. I’m approaching marketing in the same way:
...personally signed books, packaged with care and sent out to be launched through the letterbox into a new home, in packaging that will make it stand out from the everyday mail, and demand attention!
...sheepdog, which, as Downboy is quick to point out, is definitely NOT a cross between a sheep and a dog. But these sheep are tired of being rounded up, and two of them are ready to make a stand…
...who would be interested in the story they have to tell.
It inspired neat writing, that lasted only as long as it took for ideas to start tumbling out faster and faster
So I’m wondering, is a blog a good way to get potential readers for my books, or is it becoming a monster that needs constant feeding?
...chew and nothing happens, they’re likely to drop it and move on to something else. But if that same book is opened...
Getting knocked over is another scenario that doesn’t instantly feel inspirational
