Dale isn't climbing the fence

He's leaping the fence like a dear. I saw him do it!
And I think we found a new owner for both Dale and Nona.
They live down the road and need a new buck. :)

Dale is driving me nuts!

2 weeks ago he got out of the pasture and discovered the pear tree. Every since then he has derived a plan to get to the pear tree at least 2x a day! All fencing areas have been fixed. I think the unknown 1/4 of his breed is mountain goat ;0 and that is how he is getting out now. Only because Nona hasn't followed since all the repairs have been made. :) He does follow me back to the gate everytime. Like a little boy in trouble. Head down and all haha. The pears are just too much temptation I guess. He'll be after the persimmons next month.....

Flashbacks

I've been dyeing fiber for my etsy shop. The green is a consignment! It's a semi-solid. Much like the blue Deven did that has since sold. He is very proud of that btw :) I have since spent quite a while re-skeining the yarn to give a better representation of the colors. Below is a picture of a couple. I'm not a fan of orange, but the October challenge for my Etsy Team is Fall colorsm and I really LOVE how this came out.


This scarf is a donation for the Special Olympics coming up. The goal is 5000 scarves for the athletes. I'm going to try and have 5 made and mailed by the deadline. I don't knit & crochet as fast as I used to, and I still want to get the boys' things made for Christmas finished.

This was just finished getting spun up. Its the Corriedale Logan dyed for me with koolaid and I steamed. I need to take it off the bobbinand set the twist. It looks like it's about sock/fingering to DK weight as a single ply. It may bloom bigger. We'll see. But I spun it to ply so it's tight.! We'll see. It came out nice though


Here is one of those Christmas presents I was talking about. A reversible hat for the boys. This is one side. I still need to finish the decreases and close the top, so I can start the new color at the brim. When it's done I'll have 2 more to go.
