Machine Knitting and everything else...
Brianna lambed at 4am. It was a very chilly 20 degrees. I had been watching and waiting for her to lamb. She had some problems with delivering triplets last year and I wanted to keep an eye on her again this year.
Brianna had two big, healthy ram lambs. The sire is a UK ram named Popeye. These rams are just beautiful and have nice confirmation. I can’t wait to see how they fill out as they grow.
Alice had a ram lamb this year. She had a very easy delivery. The Cormo rarely have any problems lambing. They are both doing great! I think his ear tag is weighting him down. What do you think?
I have two weaving projects going right now. One is a very simple warp of 4 harness dish towels. I wanted something quick to weave. I found a simple draft in one of my Weaver’s Craft magazines.
The other weaving project I am working on is a multishaft twill sample from Bonnie Inouye’s book, “Exploring Multishaft Design.” I love this book. It is currently out of print, but the Author is working on a revised version. The cloth in the photo below is a 16 harness plaited twill.
