Latest knits

I have mentioned before I like to knit hats. They are fast easy easy knits and I don't get bored with them before I have finished. I will admit I do have a project or two sitting around that I got bored with and have not picked up to finish yet. One of them is a really nice looking purse, its burnt orange BFL lambs wool and white mohair knit together. Looks pretty good and is super soft, but its just stockinette stitch so I got bored and put it down and have not picked it back up yet I really should finish that its not far from being done.

Here are a couple of my latest hats.The one one the left is CVM Alpaca I got form Lisa forever ago and the right is yak. The gray bands in them is the last skein I think of my first Rambouillet Angora blend. Both are knit in a 1X1 rib pattern. I like this one a lot better than my last pattern. God Bless hope your enjoying the cooler temps and getting ready for fall shows!

BABIES BABIES BABIES!

I think my curse from last fall is over, I finally have little ones and they are not getting sick and dieing. In fact I have babies coming out my ears! Thursday while I was at work Wildhare's Red Dawn had a litter with Dan Dan, all look to be agouti so more than likely Dan Dan does not carry 'e' like I was hoping. Now I had thought the Dan Dan was 'aa' since all his litters with colored does have been black, does were black and choc, but maybe he is 'Aa' since all these babies look Agouti, or else Red Dawn is 'AA'. Any of you genetic geniuses please feel free to let me know what you think. Here is a pick of Red Dawn's litter the day they were born. Ava's litter that I thought was black and agouti are all black. So she will work very well for my black color project. Hopefully she can soften up the texture on my black Germans, they are form the 06 import and the wool is just to course. You can really tell a difference when you spin and knit it, like night and day the difference between the 06 imports and my older lines. I do not like to spin wool from my black German doe at all, but it does work well for blends. Ava and Doro's litterThe babies out of my agouti doe Bertha are getting big and starting to eat pellets as well. There are a total of 11 in the litter and mom has raised all of them, 2 fawns, 1 tort all 3 I think are does right now, the rest are agouti. All the agouti babies will more than likely be looking for a forever home so if your lookin for a wooler let me know, they are mostly French only being 40%German. Bertha and Doro's litterGod Bless hope you enjoyed all the babies!

Got tomatoes?

This is the tomatoes that came out of our garden today. By this time tomorrow some of them will be juice and some of them will be canned.

Ava had a litter of babies yesterday 9 total lost 1. They are Giant/German and FA/NZ all appear to be black or agouti. Depending on how many agouti babies there are I may try to breed her to my black German buck next to get a Giant/German agouti! Keep the bunns cool and God Bless all of you!!

Back from the mill

My gray Rambouillet Angora blend made it back from the mill last week. It ended up being 1/3 Angora and 2/3 wool, makes a nice soft springy yarn and is very nice to spin! I still have not made up my mind if I will offer some for sale or hog it all to myself. It will make way more hats then I will ever need, I love making hats. Here is a pic of the roving and a skein I have spun. I pray God blesses all of you!

Angoras for Sale

I have 2 83% German black does for sale born May29-09. These does are out of the same litter as my blue buck and have a 50/50 shot of carrying 'e', both parents of this litter are also black. I culled the rest of this litter today but these little girls were to just too nice to put in the freezer, both does have nice body type and density.I am asking $40 each or $60 for both.

Makin Juice

We are finally getting some tomatoes form the garden so last night Mom and I made juice. If you noticed the juice in this picture is yellow because its from yellow, and yellow and red striped tomatoes. It does not taste that much different than the red and has less acid in it. We also have red and pink tomatoes. The pink one are my favorite they taste sooo good!Red juiceYellow juice. We made 3 3/4 gallons of juice last night. Tonight we will be freezing corn. God Bless!
