Wednesday WIPing 3/19/08

WIP.  As in work in progress.  Yes.  Well.  I suppose I technically made a bit of progress.  The Frien d's Folly sweater sleeve has a couple more rounds to it, although I knit at least 4 more rounds.  But then I spotted something.   Oops.  Too much friction on the merino, I guess.  I tinked back, cut out the offending stuff, then matched up the color sequence and knit ... oh, 5 or 6 stitches, just so the join is solid.   Goal: finish this sleeve. 

On both the SKP and corrugated rib socks, progress has consisted of showing what's on the needles.  I'm all about modest goals these days.  So again, the goal on both of these socks is whatever progress happens.

I took my knitting with me to North Carolina but other than showing my hostess, I didn't touch it.  I was too caught up with some pretty nifty distractions.

  Like a brand new angora goat baby taking his first steps.

And then just posing with an abundance of sweet cuteness.

And twin baby boys.

Confused peafowl.  First the hen flirting with a rooster.  Then the peacock romancing a chicken.

Newly naked sheep who look a bit like cows and a wiley ram who said no thanks I'd like to keep my coat. 

And the biggest distraction of all, the lady who runs Avillion Farm, and a newly met blog friend with her daughter who out competed all the animals in the cuteness category.  Chatting and  laughing and sharing and just enjoying clearly took precedence over knitting.

BTW, all those newly nekkid critters, both shetland sheep and angora goats,  left their coats available for purchase so if you're in need, talk to Elaina.  She's probably got some bunny foof available, too.  And possibly some yarn, too.

You are the best Chris. Sammy and I are still in awe over how welcoming both you and Elaina were. It was so much fun having a chance to catch up with both of you, and to see Elaina's farm. The animals were absolutely amazing, and Sammy is using that exact picture of her holding one of the buns, as her screen saver now on her computer. :D It was just so much fun catching up, and I'm glad that after all this time, we have finally had a chance to meet in person. You are a dear friend. *bunny hugs* to you ... and to all of the wonderful new buns you had a chance to pick up while you were here in N.C.

:) :) :) :)

I loved the photos. They are a nice pick me up. Spring is so beautiful when all of the little fuzzy babies come out.
