It was a gorgeous day here today. So hot in fact that this particular sheep decided it was time to take her fleece off! Now, those of you who knit, don't get too excited, that wool, I've been told by the local farmer, is sadly not top of the range. I remember when we first moved here and I saw bits of wool lying on the grass, I wanted to run around collecting it with dreams of spinning and dyeing, but he said that it's not what they make jerseys out of, or good carpets even, in fact it costs the farmer more to have the sheep shawn then he gets for the fleece. Sad isn't it?
We were back at the doctor's today with my youngest, he's not been well at all, poor little might. I have just managed to pry his little body off of mine to write this, so no sewing, but lots of bonding and loving. (Thanks to Anne for reminding me that even though it's hard and you get nothing else done, you do get a chance to love them!)
