What winter (such that it is) would be complete if I didn't knit a pair of black English Angora mittens? Love, love, love the color black in angora. Never shows the dirt. Fiber donated by Sweet Pea.
I didn't really like how I spun this hank of yarn as I think it was the first one I plied on my majicraft wheel before I realized I had to reverse the tension. It's funny how it doesn't really matter, though, once you knit the yarn.
Finally finished spinning Donny's show coat. I spun 325 yards of sport weight/worsted weight from his show coat. The picture doesn't do it justice, it is a buttery off-white. Delicious!
If there is one thing rabbits are good at it is producing plenty of droppings. I received a request from someone looking to fuel their garden with rabbit droppings for which I was happy to accomodate them. As much as I would like to garden in the summer time my work schedule is way too busy so I was very happy to share. Perhaps I will get to taste the fruits of her labor, looking forward to it!
Several weeks ago someone requested a pair of red angora baby booties to give to an Asian co-worker expecting a baby. Red symbolizes good luck in China. I sent the first pair which the buyer was happy with but he wanted to know if I could step it up a notch and make RED baby booties.
These certainly are red. This baby is going to have some lucky feet!
