Llama Fan Club Contest

Llama fan club

Hanging out with the llama is the "way cool" thing to do these days. Crackerjack has developed quite a following. The lambs toddle along with him in the pasture and gravitate toward him at rest time in the barn. They're fascinated by his fiber, always nibbling at the bits of straw stuck to his fleece. I feel a little sorry about him never getting a break and sneak him handfuls of grain when the ewes aren't looking. He deserves it. In fact, I think Crackerjack deserves his own fan club. He's an amazing guy and we love him.

Would you like to join Crackerjack's fan club? Just post a comment saying why you're a Crackerjack fan or maybe share your favorite Crackerjack story(or encounter if you've ever met him in person). I'll draw a winner for a special prize – 2 skeins of Upland Wool & Mohair – next Friday.

Impatient bottle lambs
I have my own little following – the bottle lambs who are becoming more insistent now that ewes' milk supply is backing down. I'm cutting back the amount at each feeding as we count down to weaning and they like it not one bit, as you can see from Pumpkin here demanding more! It's getting to be quite a scrum at feeding time. I'm putting fresh sweet hay in the feeder a half hour before bottles and they're really loving it. Then they get a couple ounces of milk to wash it down – kind of like milk & cookies for lambs.

Thanks everyone for your get well wishes. I'm still feeling a little ragged but less sore in the throat and not sneezing every five minutes. Packing for my big weekend in the Big Apple. Really looking forward to meeting the Big Apple Knitters Guild tomorrow.

Happy Friday!
