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.

It's a Girl!

It's a girl and she's gray!

We're excited. Chloe has finally delivered. It's a girl. She's gray. Mother and daughter are healthy.

Baby arrived just after 2:00 pm yesterday weighing in about 21 pounds. I was at work. Poor Pam had a turkey in the oven when she suddenly realized Chloe had a foot sticking out was in labor. There was this frantic scramble to save the turkey and grab the cria kit and rush out to the pasture all at the same time in a hurry. However, that's Pam's story to tell and I'm going to let her tell it.

Our little one doesn't have a name yet. We'll work on that over the next couple days. We have a leading candidate of the moment, but our sweet little one hasn't really told us if she fits that name yet.

The sweet little thing is clearly a tuxedo gray. We think she's a medium rose gray, but we need to wait a few days to make sure she maintains her color.

She's all legs. She's cute.

And we're tired.

Oh she is lovely!
I wanted to suggests a couple of names: Ute (say oo-tah) because when you use a german accent its a very lovely name.
And also: Boadicea. She was queen of the Iceni under Roman rule in Britan. She is known as "Mother of England" to English school children. She led her people in revolt against the Romans. The fact that her tribe was completely obliterated is really beside the point! :D
