Here are a few pictures of the fiber festival in Sequim on Oct 6th.

This was the demo area. Where there were looms such as the triangle loom which I have never seen one till then. We got to spend time with those sweet alpaca's which I took home some of their wool ( Thanks Illaya)

We spent 3 to 4 hours there checking out everyone displays and the demos. We then went over to "Drop stitch yarn shop" Very nice store just too bad I spent most of my money at the fiber fest and the open air market! We went back to Illaya's home and my time spent there was just too short but it was fun!

The next day was my sock yarn dye class with Amelia. I learned quite a bit and met some new people.

I plan on going again next year.

Jersey Wooly rabbits

Lily

and

Morello

I am excited to say that I am going to be welcoming a doe and buck jersey wooly rabbit's into our home as our starter pair for our rabbitry.

We have decided to name our rabbitry

"Raidan's bunny hutch"

Amy and I will be breeding and showing them.

Angora wool

Last week I happen to go past a sign that said herbs, plants and spinning supplies. That is all it takes to get me to check it out "herbs, plants and spinning" LOL

By the time I got done at the shop I came home with some calendula soap and some unspun angora wool. It is sooooo soft and it had been dyed blue. I found some slickers to comb it with so I can set about spinning on my spindle.

This got me thinking how I would like to have my own bunnie to have as a pet as well as for the wool. This would give me a way to come up with my own yarn spun from my own pet. So I have been researching raising angora rabbit's and joined a angora yahoo group so I can learn about them.

What I am working on

After I finished my neighbor's fingerless mittens. I started a scarf using lion brand landscapes yarn for Dave. It is about half way done now. I got this yarn because the colors match the fleece hat I bought him a few years ago.

Raidan is "1"

August 16th was her birthday and this is what she looked like before and after tackling her birthday cake!
