Jacinda and Raven have lambed! White twin ram lambs and black twin ewe lambs! I'm so happy that they both had twins! Hopefully next year Jacinda will have ewe lambs. She's getting on up there in age and I would really like to have a ewe lamb or two out of her before she retires.
This week has been really rainy, good for the pasture seed that I put out to seed the bare spots, but makes it hard to do any work outside. The garden is doing well. Can you tell I have spring fever!?!
Hopefully this spring, we'll be having the tree stumps pulled and hauled off.
I've been knitting another pair of Fair Isle Flower Socks. I just can't seem to stop knitting socks. This pair I'm using Moonstruck's yarn as the main color and some leftover butter cream white as the pattern color. The color has come out really nice.
I just recieved some books from Amazon that I bought and am flipping through them looking for ideas for projects that I want to do with the yarn that I'm going to have spun with my fleeces. These are really good books and are loaded with designs for color work as well as the history of different ethnic traditions of color work.
