And now July is almost gone!

My how time flies.

Well, I did a really crazy thing. I accepted 300 pounds of unskirted wool. This is from 40 sheep. I have to go through it all and pull off the bad poopy parts and shake the little tiny pieces out. I think I'll be doing it in my sleep. But you just can't refuse free wool when you love to spin yarn. Here is a picture of my husbands old truck holding the wool in one of those huge grain bags they put over the big oval hay bails.

I've been making a nice llama and wool scarf with my knitting board. Now I will have all kinds of wool (probably forever) to make items with. I'll have to retire to be able to process it all.

June is almost Over

Goodness June is just about to end! Doesn't time fly fast. Vacation is next week, planning on getting lots of spinning, crocheting, knitting, whatever in! I'm working on a llama scarf on a 12 inch adjustable knitting board and the colors of brown are wonderful.

Update

Haven't posted in a while. Been busy doing too many things. One of them was going to the Maine Fiber Frolic which was a blast. A real friend is someone who goes out in the rain with you to a fiber frolic and she doesn't spin yarn! Thank you Rebecca!

I found some wonderful llama and other wools and I got a new cherry spindle that I love.
I also learned how to clip an angora rabbit with sizzors.

Others things going is using my infinity knitting loom with some of my spun yarns and just having way too many projects going.

As soon as my other friends returns my digital camera I will post some pictures.

Some of my furry friends who supply their brushings!

I have a wonderful internet friend from Massachusetts who is a groomer and supplies me with clippings and brushings to make hats, mittens, hearts etc. This one looks like she is holding her own bag of brushings!

Save your long dog hair!

I spin dog fur and make hearts that can be saved forever. If you would like to have a heart done with your favorite pet's fur, email me at kfellows@doe.k12.me.us with dog fur in the subject line for information.

Husky Blanket

Here is a picture of a lap ghan I made with husky dog hair that I spun.

Greetings!

Here is my first blog. I want to be able to share my love of spinning and crocheting and using the knifty knitters. I belong to some wonderful groups who are very giving in sharing their talents!

I just got two male angora bunnies a week ago and will be posting pictures. I fnally have my own fiber to spin! I also spin dog hair into momento's, mittens, hats, or scarf's. They are very warm if you live in a cold state in the winter.

Stop in and say Hello. As soon as I get some pictures I'll get some posted.
