This past weekend involved a trip to not one but two sheep farms in the rain, a trip to Clover Hill, and a trip to the DC area to meet with Woolarina and Karida of Neighborhood Fibers. And no not all on the same day!
Saturday was a rainy misty sort of day but it didn’t [...]
I have been a busy little bee and sitting at my wheel creating new yarns. And there is currently another sock yarn on the bobbin and a silk blend waiting to be spun up next. And I have been steadily working on a WIP that has sitting for a few months too.
Spring is here which [...]
The weather today is much needed rain. But it makes everything look dreary. But my daffodils are almost ready to open. For some reason mine are always the last to open in the neighborhood but that is okay with me.
Last Tuesday night, I was smart and did not attempt to spin right after having my finger glues back together. But I did go back to playing with the drum carder. I waited until Wednesday to try spinning. It was slow spinning with a finger held together with glue. And yes, a bandage [...]
My new spinning toy is a drum carder. I was hoping to pick one up at the auction at Maryland Sheep and Wool this year but managed to find one through pure accident. And the price was right so I took a chance. And the wonderful Gryphon actually picked it up for me and brought [...]

One of my friend’s sheep has this little bitty problem. She always finds the grass on the other side of the fence is better than what is in front of her. I saw this ewe in action Saturday afternoon. The feeder right in front of her was full and everyone else was happy with eating [...]
Lambing season has already finished here in Maryland for the most part. And they sure are cute. Leslie’s farm has both white and black lambs depending on the breed. But the black ones are so hard to shot. But the white ones like the camera and posed. So enjoy the cuteness.
Between my computer needing to be cleaned up and the fact that the Homespun Yarn Party is coming up really fast, posting may be erratic for the next week or so. So to entertain everyone, I will be posting some photos of a visit I made to a friend’s farm on Saturday. I went up [...]
