I'm back!!!




I could use all the excuses in the book as to why I've been such a bad blogger. But I'm back and intend to keep up.

So lets see, I've been spinning and knitting my heart out. I was able to knit a pair of mittens in 1 week. I'm feeling so much better about my finished products, FINALLY!!! Here I used 100%junior French Angora wool that I had gotten from my friend Charlotte Schweikart. The body of the mitten in blue. While I was spinning, I had a partial spool of blue and a partial spool of white, so I plied the together and used that for the cuffs and thumbs and just love the look.
On Saturday the 22nd, Steuben Co Fair in Bath, NY held their fisrt ARBA sanctioned rabbit show that we attended. I was very impressed at the turn out and even though there was only one other breeder with an English Angora I looked forward to getting some outside feedback on this seasons show string. BOB was earned by Liberty Junction Lacey, pictured above, and BOS was Liberty Junction Boone- my blue tort buck.
My computer had crashed and although I have all my old info and pictures on a back up hard drive, I'm having difficulty pulling some of the information back up now. So I hope to get the issues resolved and update my webpages soon........
