The Socks

One of the ladies in our new spinning group made these socks and gifted them to me a few weeks ago. Aren’t they CUTE??? It’s all sorts of different types of yarn and not a knot to be found–she must have woven in all those ends. I love all the action & different things going on in the socks — yes there is a 2nd one but I couldn’t balance and take a pic of both of them at once while they were on my feet, and I don’t want to take them off.

They are snuggly, warm,and a reminder of what nice friends I have!

The Mitts

My new friend Marion is a master knitter. She knit these up for me after I admired the pattern. She made them in less than one week. That’s right—less than a week! The squirrel is so cute and the oak leaf is great. Do you see the dates at the top? 20 on one and 08 on the other? No puckers at all. How can she do it so neatly? I’m afraid to wear them, they really deserve to be framed….

I am sooo lucky to have these new friends in my life.

Look at the palms of the mitts. Very patterned and makes me sweat just looking at all the work. Amazing!

Here are some pics of the group we’ve formed for spinning on Sundays.  It’s such great fun and a great way to spend a snowy Sunday in the winter!

Harrison bottle feeding Obama. It’s not easy being a shepherd.

Harrison shows Logan, the cashmere buck, an egg. For a second we thought Logan would eat it, but then he decided that he’s a vegan and eggs would not be on the morning menu.

“Hey (or rather HAY!!), what’s up, dawg?  I’m just hanging out with my buds in the barn, waiting for the ice & snow to melt, so I can go outside & play”

Harrison with one of “The Girls” this past weekend. That boy loves the chickens!

Isn’t the snow pretty? It’s white and fluffy as a cloud. It’s cold & wet & pretty. And pretty cold. And pretty much too much….

Made from Blizzard. In a blizzard. Sitting on the lamb milk replacer with the lamb bottle next to it. We’re (rather just I!!) am feeding Mitt Romney & Obama every 4 hours. They are looking great!
