Shearing fun!
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: The Heights "How Do You Talk to An Angel"

Two more rabbits down, 14 to go. :) Yesterday, Winter and Cassie were the ones to get their own little sweatshirt coats. Granted, they don't look too much like coats, as my Mom walked into the house just after I had finished shearing and coating Cassie, and proceeded to ask if I had a sock on her. But, Cassie and Winter are none the worse for wear, and happy to be without all that wool. Plus, I now have a box full of pure white angora.




And this is Cassie while being shorn. Her coat was longer than I would have liked, but cold temps have prevented me from shearing earlier.




O.k, time for confessions: I broke my stash reduction pledge on Thursday! I bought two different skeins of wool over at Webs for fingerless mitts (yes, I'm actually going to attempt them!), and a pair of 12" #8 Addi Turbo circulars (I love those needles!). I also purchased some silk, but this is being used for the batts that I'm making up for the SPA weekend in Portland in 2 weeks, so I'm o.k. there. Forgive me stash police, for I have sinned. :)

Look at all that luscious angora. mmmmmmm.

Good job on planning for fingerless mitts. Cast them on already!

Hope you are feeling well.
