March 2011 - Spring is sprung!

Stephen was so happy to see us this month. The snow has gone, and lambs are arriving. It was almost too exciting for him! Madeline, Linda, Suzanne and Maggie were hard at work with their knitting and spinning. I think Suzanne was giving me the eye for snapping her picture...

Suzie and Sandy were working at spinning. Sandy was sporting a new hair-do and a tan, both from her trip to Florida last month.
Sharon was helping Steve ball his yarn for his next project - part of an afghan!


Pat, Sharon and Madeline - I don't think anything was being worked on - more just visiting.


Sharon brought her finished scarves to show - one of them done with yarn from her dyeing class at the Festival last summer - totally awesome! I brought some finished and unfinished baby sweaters. Linda did not bring anything to show and tell this month - unusual for her. Maggie brought her Lace KAL from 2010 that she is working the lace border for. It has inspired me to get busy and finish mine - which means that I have to figure out how and do the lace border. It seems complicated to me...


We also had a discussion of organic - but my notes just say this and don't say what it was we discussed - and for the life of me, I can't remember. I am thinking old age is creeping in.


We were going to have a weaving session in April, but one of the weavers is going to be gone then, so we will having a weaving session in May! I think I can see a loom in Sharon's future, but in the mean time, Suzie and Maggie are going to show us the ins and outs of weaving.


Since our spin date, more lambs have been born - Steve is up to 10 babies as of right now. Four are cormo, 3 are corland (cormo x Shetland), and 3 Shetlands. There is a lot of baaa baaa baaa going on in the barn!


Our next spin and grin will be April 10. The abrn should be full of babies by then. Hope to see you there. Oh, as a post script, the food in March was awesome!
