IxCHeL Fibres, Yarns & Art: Finally a fibre update ..and a partridge in a pear tree...

For the last week I have been trying to find the right speed for recovery...sometimes it is like taking three steps forward and then three steps back. I somehow managed to strain a muscle so much that when walking I looked like Quasimodo, til Paul finally confined me to bed for a whole day!!! and then the day after it was okay again. Somehow, since I lost the use of my belly muscles since the op, I had been "over using"and "over extending"some others and presto: Quasimodo bunny was born...lol

I have been asked to come back to hospital for a routine check etc next Tuesday and I guess check ups will be the order of the "trimester"for another 5 years until it is official that all is good.

In the meantime more sock knitting and spinning some angorino/camelbunny tops on my new Majacraft Rose wheel , which is heaven to spin with :)

Fibre Hagrid aka Paul has been a huge help: he has been feeding all the animals, grooming and clipping the bunnies as well amd don't worry: The bunnies are doing well :) All the girls in the studio are having a ball :) Skye is the leader of the pack and the Olympic champion of high jumping fences....I swear she is probably half goat...lol..the way she can jump over a fence that is easy 5 times her own height! I gave up confining her to quarters and she now roams almost the whole house (if we forget to close the doors...lol).

I have been preparing an update with some spindles and fibres and yarns and this will be the last product update of 2009. I have not been able (ofcourse) to do any major spinning or dyeing yet and that will have to wait til 2010. Amazing really how 2009 has flown by! Anyway, I did do some spinning on my new Majacraft Rose wheel (some baby camelbunny and angorino) an dI am loving it! Such a sweet spin ! And ofcourse i have been doing, yes, you guessed it, some more sock pattern designing and sock knitting! Most of all I have been busy sarting the signing up season for the funky bunny batt club#4 !, the Sock it to me yarn club #2 and last but not least the Ixchel Fibre club#4 starting in January 2010.
