Our trip to Michigan went well. I had a wonderful time visiting with Stephen and Bill S. while they were very busily getting Sheltering Pines ready for winter. I did try to help a bit but when they started on the roof of the wool shed I went inside to knit...
James and Charlie(Charlemange) are here waiting for my husband to get home to be unloaded. James is quite the pistol! He is quite spirited and very large. He also likes to jump straight up in the air while he is being led by the horns. That is why we are waiting for Bob to help unload them!
Speaking of knitting, I began a beautiful grey shetland wool scarf using a pattern Stephen has loaned me. It's a Fiber Trends pattern called "Paws to Remember". I'm using some of Stephen's own hand spun yarn. Here is a pic of what it will look like:
I know, I know, yet another project on the needles. I think I'll follow Sheperdchik's example and make a commitment to finishing some of my UFO projects! I know I also have some I've quit working on simply because I don't like them any more. I'll keep you posted!

I'm heading to Michigan right after Thanksgiving to pick up two new rams I've bought from my friend Stephen at Sheltering Pines. They are both F1, one is a mioget Jamie son and the other is a katmoget Roban Dillon son who has abherrent horns.
Northwind James
(F1 Jamie)
SheltrgPines Charlemange
(F1 + = 62.5% UK Dillon/Holly/Timothy)
Great additions to my flock! I've already added them into my breeding groups plan. I'll also be using another F1 ram sired by Island Skeld this year. His mother is double F2 which makes him 75% UK! We have two spotted rams on the agenda as well as a polled Gallifrey son I brought home from Juliann Budde's at Little Country Acres. He has AWESOME fleece!
