Chloe Lemay is a professional animator and a yarn crafter as well! This sequence of sheep jumping over a fence is the result of hand-knitting. Don't try counting them, because you might fall asleep. But do turn the sound on. Here you can see how she made the video.

Lemay first drew the cartoon, then pixelated each frame on graph paper, then knitted a dozen squares by the pattern for each one. Did they end up on a sweater? No, but they sure made a cool wall hanging!
