Making something nice out of your old stuff?

I don’t get it. The knitting sheep is taking the wool off the other sheep to make a jumper to...keep him warm? Presumably like his wool did before it got knitted into a sweater?

He's making a white jumper to wear as he is the black sheep ?

It's literally the friend giving the black sheep 'himself'. So 'i'll always be there for you'. It's not that cryptic?! It's like the saying 'no skin off my back'.

The black sheep likes knitting. His hobby.

But he ran out of wool (just happened to be white wool).

His bestie, white sheep said, use some of mine - I've loads.

HOPEFULLY, black sheep has the good grace to gift his friend the jumper to wear after - if not, he'll be chilly!

The white sheep is donating his wool directly to the black sheep so he's being friendly.

But one could argue the black sheep is taking advantage of the white sheep by taking his wool. It's a bit odd Confused

We can only know the answer if we know who the jumper is for.

Erm. The black sheep can't use their own wool, so their friend the white sheep is offering theirs. Presumably it means that the friend is offering something of themselves that the other doesn't have, which could be support at a bad time or something like that.

But it could be taken the wrong way, couldn't it?

The white sheep is such a good friend he's literally giving the black sheep the clothes/wool off his back I guess

whatsnewpussycat777 · 13/02/2021 14:18

Mind you. That jumpers got only one arm, and white sheep's leggies are not that long.

I do hope black sheep isn't just a manipulative arse hole.

whatsnewpussycat777 · 13/02/2021 14:20

I especially don't like the way black sheep has stolen all the front of white sheep - leaving him exposed!

LaPoesieEstDansLaRue · 13/02/2021 14:20

Although from the white sheep's face it looks as if the other sheep is fleecing him 😆

The white sheep is such a good friend that he’s shorn his wool and is letting the black sheep make a jumper to wear so nobody realises he’s a black sheep.

I’m assuming it’s a play on the phrase ‘he’s the black sheep of the family’.

It's not a jumper though is it?

Single army required for that sleevey
