Hello! Welcome to the Angora Rabbit Blogspot!

I'm a lifelong knitter, a long-time machine knitter, an intermediate spinner (only 15 years!) and an enthusiastic keeper of angora rabbits. My spinning habit began innocently enough. My old Cocker Spaniel girl was failing and I wanted something to remember her by. So a new hobby was launched. After she was gone, I foolishly aquired 2 dogs with coats that were not suitable for spinning (what was I thinking?). So there was no choice. I HAD to get some angora rabbits. At this point, I'm at "capacity" in numbers that the city probably would not approve of, if they knew. So the move is on this summer to home with a barn, for all the bunnies. On the left, is Summer. One of my first home-bred German Angoras. I have English angoras too, and German colored crosses in fawn & black.

I do spin and knit this fabulous fiber and sometimes have yarn and/or fiber available for others too. Check my website at http://www.germanangora.net for availability. I'm even developing some *free* knitting patterns for the mill-spun yarn that I sell on that site too! Check it out! On the right, is Sommer &D'Lynn Ricki Ticki, a huge chestnut German cross doe. Ricki now had babies of her own! She has fawn, black and chestnut babies. Too cute! Looks like they are sharing a secret!


The girls on the right are extra sweet and gentle. Unfortunately I lost Sommer this spring. She got loose and went exploring. I never knew what happened, but I found her one morning, not a mark on her, but she had passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. I'll miss her. But I do have 2 babies from her! Ricki always come to the front of the cage to be petted and loves to be nose-to-nose with you. All of her babies appear to be the same. We now have 4 big whopping red babies from her. I have high hopes of registering one of them with IAGARB
