Weaving

 Now that the gardening is almost done, and the goats are almost all trimmed, it's about time to get back to weaving again.  I can see the end of the warp on the table loom, the same warp that's been on the loom since May. After I get that done, I am going to get the Norwood all set up and get a warp on it.  

I've been making just long lengths of cloth with the last few weaving projects.  Once I get this latest one off, I am going to experiment with sewing up a top or two, or maybe a ruana, or even just a poncho or two.  Then I am going to start weaving with the cashmere yarn I've spun up. I think I have enough to actually weave a shawl.  We'll see.  

I've been contemplating getting a mini Nubian dairy goat buck so I can breed the two doelings out of Toffee and Sprinkles next year.  That will make quite a mixed breed baby!  Sprinkles and Toffee have about 1/3 meat goat breeds in them, so they aren't the greatest of dairy goats. Their kids are out of a mini Alpine buck, so they are more dairy than their moms. I could just get a couple of purebred dairy does and have a lot of milk again, but I'm going to do this the long way around.

Since today was Veterans Day, I would like to thank all the veterans out there for your service. I have a couple in my family, some friends that served in various branches of the military, and John's nieces' husband is in there now.  

With all the solar/cosmic energies coming our way, the earthquakes and volcanos building up for big things, I think life as we know it is about to change.  Be prepared for anything going forward.  We are living through the most amazing times that our planet has ever been in.  Exciting times for humanity!  

Hope the weather is not too drastic where you are.
