Of the Long Tailed variety. A pair came into the garden yesterday and bathed. We don't often get them - they are so cute.
M took this on our early morning walk on Friday.
Lottie has adopted one of Ma's armchairs as a new afternoon snooze spot. That's the life alright. A walkie, some grub, harass the cats for a couple of hours, lunch and then a 3 hour snooze till teatime, play up the garden, another walkie....bedtime!
Handspun 100% merino from one of my sample batts. Navajo plied. Spun up slightly thicker than I usually do using the Little Gem wheel - whole thing took about 1.5 hours.
This is a mix (not blended) of Churro and Californian Red - just a sample. Again Navajo plied. I spun each alternately then mixed together. The Churro is really rough until you start to spin it and then the fibres soften as they stretch. I'm looking forward to spinning the rest of it.
Also finished 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' - loved it! Made me laugh out loud but still retained so much of the original, the juxtaposition of the plot was wonderful - I especially enjoyed what happens to Charlotte Lucas and the outcome of Wickham - perfect.
