This week on the farm has been uneventful. After the last week and half of being teased about spring and then being dumped on by snow, I no longer care if it snows. You hear that Murphy!!!!! I don’t care!!!!! However, the sunshine has been nice to see and the animals are loving it.
I’m thinking that just after Memorial Day, I will be planting the garden I need to get my starters going.
I haven’t worked on my son’s socks but here is a pic of one of my squares for The Carnation Bouquet Afghan Project. Drew Emborsky(A.K.A. The Crochet Guy) wanted to put together some afghans for charity. If you want to learn more you can check out his Blog. I’ve also been working on a couple secret projects.
The hubs will be making a visit next Wednesday for about a week. It will be nice to have him home for a bit.
Here are a few new things in the Store. From Left to right Old World Swallowtail, on the left Spindle kit with 2 oz of top.
I’m thinking about another contest. I have a basket full of fiber left from combing top. I’ll do a random drawing for everyone who likes “the fiber of my being” facebook page and comments below.
Disclaimer: Fiber is seconds from 8in long coopworth combings..while not 8 inches it will have a pretty good staple. There may a bit of veggie matter in this. There may also be a few neps. I would normally card this fiber into batts as there is really nothing wrong with it.
P.S. The fiber weights 3 3/8 oz.

Alpacas! You have alpacas! You lucky thing! I adore alpacas … their big soulful eyes and their humming noises. I’m sure they’re a lot of work, but oh how cute.
I figured out who you were even if you were “anonymous.” I guess you just didn’t want to associate yourself with that inflammatory and lewd material that you posted! 🙂 Never mind. Thanks for visiting.
I’ll have to post some pictures of my fiber animals, but I only have the two. Andy (lilac french angora buck) has recently been de-nuded (talk about lewd material) because over the winter he developed mega-mats. He looks comical enough to be worth a picture or two.
you should look back at what I had to do to Camelot….we had to sedate him and take him to the skin all over….i bought him a sweater poor baby.
