500 yards of Mohair/Wool from Brown Sheep

By -




That is what the lucky reader will get after my 500th post. Simply send me a comment with the words five and hundred or 5 and 100 in any ole'way your heart desires and you will be entered. I started accepting entries yesterday. Glad to see Sarah (handknitter), Alyssa, (Wordsnwool) and Karen G. have all gotten in on the contest. C'mon lurkers. C'mon all my regular buddies too! I love all the support you give me.

If you don't have a blog, that is fine too! Just leave me your name and email me your email address if you are uncomfortable leaving it in a comment.

I am a sucker for Mohair blends....they add a beauty that is unmatched, I think.

My mother has the a/c on so high that my father has asked me to knit him a night cap. His bald head is freezing! I hope to finish it tonight. I put the wool by the fountain for the photo today to cool myself off just looking at it. Summer, summer, beats March around here anyday!

Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

From the first night we met, I have ready your blog,You easily have written many more than 5 times 500 words there.
Also, do you realize, that Group is a 5 letter word?
I have never seen or even touched 500 yeards of mohair much less had any thoughts that one day I might actually have some,
As for that cute bunny, if you aren't careful there could one day be 5 to 500 of them in your neighborhood !

Whether it's five posts or a hundred posts or five hundred posts, it's still fun to read. Now, five hundred bunny rabbits would indeed be a lot of fun. I'd love to see that picture. Congratulations on achieving the great 500.

Your blog is wonderful to read, I enjoy it daily. You share such great ideas and inspiration - and you make me laugh! Whether I am #5, #500, or somewhere in between - your's is a blog that I will read daily! Thanks for sharing! BTW, that Lamb's Pride felts beautifully - slipper season is right around the corner (unfortunately!)

Have a great day!

Congrats on the upcoming 500. I'm imagining 100 ways to use the 5 lucious colors of Handpaint Originals. Beautiful color selections.

I used it with Nature Spun Worsted for the Mohair Ballet slippers last year.

Wow, 500 posts - what a milestone. And 500 yards of beautiful fiber - what a prize!

I have really enjoyed reading your posts. Hope there is at least 500 more.

It feels like it's over one hundred degrees outside, so instead of sending up a giant bouquet of 500 helium balloons, I'll celebrate your 500th post indoors with a toast of at least five popsicles :) Congratulations!

Well, it is about 500 degress here I think that is with the heat index factored in. I am looking forward to temperatures low enough to knit up 500 yds of mohair

Wow, that multi-color mohair blend has all five of my favorite colors: blue, green violet, brown, sage, and dusky purple. If I live to be a hundred, I still won't get to knit all the ideas in my head, but this batch of yarn would surely give me plenty of inspiration. How exciting to reach your 500th post!

I'm not a mohair fan so I'm refraining from using any of those key words! But boy that's a nice prize - they all coordinate so well. The winner will be able to make something gorgeous from it.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
