Fun game: Sheep Dash

Test your reaction times with this cute Sheep Dash game from the BBC.

Sheep Dash game from the BBC

It's in their "Sleep" section and is supposed to let you test your reaction speed at different times – when you're tired, for example, or before and after a cup of coffee.

Really quick to play, it's very cute and rather amusing. As all you have to do is click the "tranquillize" button whenever you see a sheep, it's really simple to get the hang of and keeping watch for escaping sheep will jolt you out of that 3pm snooze zone!

Wild Fire Fibres

Like a numpty, I missed the contact details for Wild Fire Fibres off the Suppliers page last issue. If you want to knit Kirstie's lovely scarf or anything else in the Bambino yarn shown in the magazine, you can buy Wild Fire Fibres yarns online at their Etsy shop, or via Pure Purl or Brownberry Yarns. If you want Sorbet, the colour we used, it's available through the Etsy shop, but the other retailers stock other lovely yarns and colours from Wild Fire Fibres.
