Marggie's Socks

Ok, so it's one of the worst pictures I've taken. Since the socks are already gifted and gone it'll just have to do. Mainly I wanted to remember how the two yarns held together as I knit turned out. I've done another pair in greens with yellows and browns in the multi yarn, I'll see if I can't get a better picture of them.

Baaaa

In case you didn't get a good enough look at them the other day - take a peek at miss Demi hamming it up for the camera. The next shot she was kissing the lens - we'll skip that one. But just look at Leola, Lizzie and Louise heading it all up. I can't seem to get enough of these sweeties.


Ok, there's more going on than me hanging out with the sheep. I signed up to play knitting bingo
on Kimberly's site today. It's not too late to sign up so head on over to Woven~N~Spun and check it out! I'm still working on chart A of the MS3 and tomorrow the third clue is out. I guess it's a little past time to add the Slow Bees button to my blog. I'll see if I can figure that out tonight.

Lots of Knitting going on!

By the time I got pictures of the dark brown alpaca laceweight MS3 stole developed, I had already frogged it and started over with off white alaca. I had thought it was poor planning to start my first ever sweater the same week as the MS3 but as it turns out, that was a wonderful idea! When I've frogged and tinked until I can't stand it, I can do some simple k&p on the sweater. I finally finished the socks I was working on when my friend Molly came to visit and have started another pair of socks along with the Victoria Shawl from VLT.

The beautiful silvery wensleydale fleece is in the kitchen being scoured a bit at a time as I come and go through the day and I'm carding the corriedale/alpaca/angora blend that will go to the Journey To A Shawl There really will be pictures soon, I just have to quit running out to visit the sheep every few minutes :)

The Sheep are HERE!

Welcome to River Cove Farm

Where I hope I can share some of the beauty and delight that we enjoy here. Our farm is in central Missouri, where our families settled in the early 1800's. We raise llamas, alpacas, shetland sheep and one very fluffy angora bunny - Pink Snowball.

When I'm not washing, carding, spinning or otherwise playing with the fiber I volunteer at the Rocheport Historical Museum a few miles away.
