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: I Got Some Spinning Done

It rained again today and Chloe didn't have her cria today. She looks very, very close, but we saw kicking at the base of the tail today which means the cria isn't quite in position yet. Of course, none of you believe me when I say very close because I've been saying that for forty eight days now.

Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and dry -- nice cria weather. Risë (actually Sancha) finally had her cria. Click here and here for details. Maybe Chloe can have her cria tomorrow.

In other news, I actually accomplished some spinning yesterday. I took June's advice and threw out the short strands from when I lost the end while spinning -- actually, I tossed them in my odds and ends bin for future use in an interesting novelty yarn. As of this writing, I have filled a second bobbin of two-ply black suri and started another bobbin of singles. Slow progress, but progress.
