Homestead Journal at Fat Turkey Farm

I knew I would forget something

{ 07:21, May 9, 2006 } { 2 comments } { Link }

And I did.  I forgot to tell you that I started knitting another shawl.  This one is called Icarus and it's in the new edition of knits magazine.  You can see a pic here it's about half way down the page.  So far its going well.  I'm done with only one 42 row pattern repeat so far.

 

I got to spend some lovely quiet time last night, sitting outside, listening to the birds and other wildlife skittering by.  It's so quiet out here.  You can barely hear the traffic noise from the state route.  I grabbed my hand cards and my bag of clean Jacob and did some carding while I sat.  I gave each batt  three runs thru the carder and that really loosened most of the gunk that was left and all the little second cuts I missed before it got washed.  It also blended into a beautiful heathery shade of grey.  It came out so light and lofty also.  I can't wait to see how it spins, and I aim to get a few mins of that in today.  Here are the 7 rologs I got done last night.

That's all the news at our place!  Bye Bye!

Wanna come card mine? My hands aren't strong enough to card much anymore - so I usually have Norm do the machine carder or I get it processed .. expensive but easier for me!

Carding

I like carding, although I get a lot of my wool processed. The special stuff I reserve for me to work with from washing to spinning!

And yes, I do sell my painted rovings!
