Neelix, Sinda & I would like to than...Hello Leigh! Neelix, Sinda & I would like to thank you & Rascal for visiting us this morning! Yes, I am learning how to spin - the description you gave of the North Ronaldsay sheep is extremely close to Shetlands. Will you be including Shetland sheep/wool in your rare breeds sweater (which is exquisite! by the way) Our little flock is at 9 right now, (we've had as many as 16 and as few as 5) but two - Lucy & our ram Thorson will be going to new homes soon. We have two ewes bred (hopefully) so we'll probably have 4 lambs this spring -a small year for us. <BR/><BR/> I was totally in AWE and mesmerized by your lace pictures! What amazing stuff and so beautiful! <BR/> <BR/> Well, it smells like the huge sweet potato I put in the oven (about 1 1/2 hour ago) is almost ready, so I'd better get with making the rest of our dinner. I bookmarked your blogs so I could come back & read more about your fiber work & check out what Rascal has been up to. My last cat was a house panther to the fullest extent. It really does seem like each type has their own personalities - Neelix is so full of bravado, while Sinda (who is 1/2 Siamese) is very refined, but tends to whine a lot - and I see those same traits in the other ginger cats and tuxedo cats. Where would our lives be without them, Huh? <BR/> Didn't mean to write a book - Later :-) T.Tina T-Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054132355737998706noreply@blogger.com
