Snatched bald and silk

Hello all, since Jeff's bday I have been doing lots of random things.


Actually this is before his birthday, during superbowl. Riley decided to be Danny's (aka Ortiz) best friend and kept by his side all day. Its kinda cute because 1. Danny tolerated his huge chewbaca affection, and 2. Riley rarely warms up to people this way (except for Grandma Robin and Woman).
























Cheryl from my knitting group invited me to her Weavers and Spinners guild meeting where they had a spin-in and it was really fun, I got to see Sandy (Sandyspinslace) and a few others I had met at their show in October. They had samples of fiber some not processed. I got to learn how they comb and drum card it, it was exciting.






Camel

















Camel and Mohair, I learned how to prepare with cards, but I used dog brushes, very easy to use because of the size



































Here is a drum carder from the meeting



















Lauren and Riley got snatched bald, and they shaved Lauren's tail, I wasnt so happy about that. Now it looks like a rat tail!




















I also made this to felt here it is before




















And After:

















Yea see that! I grabbed the wrong ball of Noro, SILK DOES NOT FELT. But it washes beautifully. (great) Back to the drawing board.



Lauren and Riley have also discovered the Joy of Peeps. (Dogs are the only ones who should eat them anyways!)




























Easter here we come!



We would also like to send our thoughts and prayers to the Rettig and Ferrell family during this difficult time.

- Danni and Lauren
