Just a quick note to say all my yarn is sold out. I have more in at the mill, and should have more angora yarn in about 2 months.
Thanks for looking!

This is a picture of a pattern I'm developing for the angora yarn pictured before. I knitted a swatch of this in cotton about 10 years ago. It is a unique stitch in that it is based on rib instead of stockingette stitch. Since angora is ineleastic, just as cotton is, I thought it would work well. The pattern is showing nicely, even though it is not washed and blocked yet. I tried to do the pattern with regular increases, instead of yarn overs, but the pattern just did not show as well without the yarn overs. The final pattern is slightly different from the original swatch too, I made the verticle "wave" deeper and more pronounced. There will be more on this pattern as I continue to develop it.
UPDATE: I never finished this patter because I discovered the yarn was inferior angora yarn. It itches if worn against the skin, and it is entirely too heavy and dense, absolutely suffocating to wear. If you bought any of this from me, contact me and I will replace it with much better yarn - made from English angora.

This is day 9 for another "solo" baby, born to Bitty, black German cross. Bitty is 75% German and she was bred to a pure German buck. The baby is doing well, has more than doubled in size and is very active. Unfortunately, I lost Gwen's baby. He got cold. I was bringing him inside, with nest material in a cardboard box. But babies seem to just dig down the the bottom of the pile, with insulation above them but none below, and that is what he seemed to do. The black baby was born after this, so I knew to try other things. He too came inside when not nursing. But I kept him in a knit thinsulate hat! He stayed toasty warm. He could not get out of it. And it seemed to wick away the moisture. I would use this method again for a single baby!
