The Spinning Guy

In this blog, I'm going to talk about alpacas, fiber, spinning, and I'm going to generally try very hard to keep my readers posted about what's on my skirting board, what's on my spinning wheel, and what I'm knitting or crocheting.

Cria Watch Day 28: One Week Until Shearing

Our alpacas get shorn May 15th. If you're in the Roseburg, Oregon area, you are invited to watch and or help. Hopefully, Chloe's cria will arrive prior to shearing, because the little one shows no signs of arriving today.

It is beginning to look like I won't be around for the cria's birth. Today is my last relaxable day off for a long time. I get Friday off from my day job, but I'm helping friends shear at their place. I'm supposed to be helping other friends shear over the weekend, but I have to work my day job. Monday, I have off from the day job, but we're shearing here. Then the day job gets a long string of days… Such are the joys of raising alpacas around a retail-random schedule.

Still no cria here either. Sancha is holding out on me. At day 358 she's acting perfectly normal. She's killin' me!
