Fall is here

Fall is now here and I continue to do well. We welcomed Diesel, our new flemish bunny into our home and boy, has he made himself at home! He chases the cats, chases the dogs, chews on the dining room chair and watches Andy. He is big, about 19lbs now and is very smart, he is a joy to have here and we just adore him! Madison is now 18 months old, so far we have survived her puppyhood, she still chews but is old enough to be sneaky about it now! But, one "golden retriver" look at me and all is forgiven!
Socks are going well, Noro does not go through the machine well, so I have switched to the alpaca light and it makes lovely socks. I will begin making hunting socks soon as hunting season is quickly approaching here in western VA.

Spring

It's finally spring here in VA. We are getting ready to welcome a baby Flemish giant bunny to our critter crew. I picked a fawn so he would match the golden retriever. He will be here soon and I hope him and Jack will become friends. This little guy will be very, very big. but they are very gentle and make wonderful pets.
We are making plans to attend Maryland Sheep and Wool, there are five of us going and we cant wait. I hope to find a knitting machine at the auction there. This weekend is the New York City trip to shop and see the play Hairspray. I have mapped out all the yarn stores!

Socks and more socks!

I have been away from my blog for awhile. We survived Christmas, then it was my birthday and then I had surgery...but all is better now. I have been making socks and more socks. I have made some for my boss as well. (no raise yet). Nikki and I will be demonstrating the machine at the Blue Ridge Fiber Gathering meeting tomorrow in Forest VA. I hope I don't do something stupid like fall out of my chair in front of everyone.
I have some new fleece, working at getting them ready to carded and spun, they are picked and that is about all. I have to keep the process moving if I want to come home from Maryland Sheep and Wool with a new fleece! Keep on Crankin'
