Not your usual stocktake

Counting books is distracting enough, but when a stocktake involves counting sheep, I'd better be careful...

The sheep continue to be my woolly ambassadors, attracting lots of attention at book signings, and filling up my knitting bag, as well as much of my time - they are a clear example of characters taking over; and in this case they've even escaped the page and taken on knitted form, to rampage about...

Creating and catching characters...

Here are some characters I caught earlier:

         

....just a few of the characters, mostly from my imagination, but one, very real and mischievous! 

I'm not sure what will happen releasing these characters together onto one posting - maybe HB the doodle dog will round up the sheep, or maybe the real cat and the knitted cat will join forces and chase the dog... I'm taking a big risk letting this lot out to play together, but what's the worst that can happen...?
