Finally got this picture of little Clover uploaded! Clover is soon to be a papa rabbit, if we are lucky. He is a great little bunny, a gentle soul and very easy to take care of. His fiber does not matt, but if I let it go a little, it forms these great little balls, about the side of a pea, out on the very tips. These are GREAT for adding soft squishy slubs to your yarn. Soft, soft, soft.
Clover's girlfried will be none other than Chu's Honeysuckle, daughter of Chu's Fawntasia. Fawntasia and her brother did a lot of winning out on the west coast in ARBA sanctioned shows. So did Clover's dam & sire, Chu's Makisam & Chu's Emelyn. Both are little sweeties, with beautiful English type, and wonderfully soft, easy care coats. Non-matting, non-molting. Their coats were 5 inches when I brought them home. Clovers went on to get around 7 inches and he kept a clean bottom and no tangles. (I did lightly brush the ends once a week). These 2 are easy keepers, in addition to coming from Grand Champion level English angora. I'm so grateful to Betty for them! Clover's littermates have been doing some real winning out in California. Here are their pictures from the No. Cal Angora Breeder's Guild blog: http://ncag.blogspot.com/search?q=Sibling+rivalry

Happy 2009! I usually cannot sign on to my account here on Blogger using my regular browser, Opera. But since I am here now, I will tell you about my other blog, which I CAN access. It is at http://my.opera.com/Ladybyte/blog.
I've created many new patterns from beautiful fluffy yarns since I've been able to post here, and I will try to get pictures of them soon. (I need a good model!). Meantime, enjoy this picture of my beautiful new little buck from Betty Chu. He is a sweetheart. I also have a new doe from Betty too, but I don't have a picture of her yet.
Oh dear, Bummer. I cannot upload the picture, either. My computer keeps trying to connect to something called "national.net" and my virus scanner blocks it. Oh well, I can upload picture to the other blog. Check it out!
