Today I have spent the better part of the day working on a new sweater on my kniffty knitter looms. The sweater will be made up of wool and mohair. Some of the yarn was spun by hand and some by machine. It is a mix of browns, purples and other fall colors. I can’t wait to get it finished and try it on!

Yesterday Sarah and I went to 1812. I bought some flax – unspun, that I intend to try to spin. I haven’t decided what I will do with it once it is spun. I also picked up two spools of 100% silk thread. I intend to make some lace with it. I have a bobbin lace kit that I have not tried yet and I thought the silk would make a lovely lace collar that I could add to a sweater or other item.

Finally I had to take one of the goats to the vet last night. When we came home Spice was sick. The vet just happened to be in the office so I took her over for some cultures. Hopefully she will be ok. We currently have her seperated from the other goats just in case. I put the Peahen Belle in with her so she had some company.
