Haircut Buddies & Sharing Spaces

I think that Chone has forgiven me.

The silly bugger was really good for most of the haircut, but then out of nowhere he just kind of flipped out on me and he refused to let me finish. So now he’s got a really silly lookin’ fluffy butt.

Here’s his album cover shot.  He likes this one because you can’t see how silly his rear end looks.

Thought this was a cool shot of Edgar’s one-month grown out fleece. Starting to get a little curl back on the tips.

Looks so cute and sporty.

Yeah, I got all short and sporty this week, too. Probably not showing off to best effect here, but you get the idea.

Sadie got all brave and ventured into the pasture with us this morning. Here are she and Edgar negotiating her visitor privileges.

Thought this was a nice shot of the rivals playing nice and getting pets.

On the other side of the fence:

“Wow, did I just lay that?”

and “Hey, are you going to be done anytime soon?”

“Can’t wait any longer. Sorry!”

Shear Luck?

Nope. None here.
I had great hopes of getting little Chone sheared this weekend,

but he’s a wiley little bugger. And it’s like he knew what I was up to.

I tried plying him with apple branches, and nice sweet-smelling hay, but I just couldn’t get the guy within arms reach.

Oh well, perhaps it’s not meant to be.

In other news, I’ve made great progress with The Shepherd’s vest since it’s last appeared on the blog.

Just about ready to start shaping the v-neck. So, I’m in the homestretch on this one!

And I’ve got the first weaving experiment off the loom,

and another in the works, this time being a little more adventurous in building curvy shapes and such-

Felix asks

“Is this my best side? I think this is my best side.”

I think he’s getting a little vain. 🙂

My Little Boys are Growing Up

He still looks like a crazy little baby

My Little Chone

But he’s got Big Boy teeth!

Big Boy Teeth

Neat, eh?

And speaking of little babes, my cousin and his wife just had a boy this week-
So, this little White Sox bear will be shipping out tomorrow to hang with Charlie Ross.

In other news, Stashbuster sweaters are nearing completion:

Stashbuster1

Decided on 3/4 sleeves for this one, so it will be finished as soon as I can get those last few rows of colorwork done!

And this guy needs a little more length on both body and arms, but I’m sooooooo close!

I’ll sign off with the spin of the week-

Spike

That’s approximately 360 yards of steely grey Spike-y goodness! (my pick from Schoonover Farms shearing day this year)
