Angora Cowl.
Made from Birthday gift yarn from the family at least 3 years ago.
i thnk it was from Great Adarandack in paintbox colorway. I've only a half cup coffee so far......but i am pretty sure.
I love angora.
If you look to the last post, you'll see I began the cowl with another yarn, Lush. For some reason,( known to better knitters), as I knit that soon to be frogged cowl, the bunny's fur magically lined up in beautiful clumps of color.
When I decided to knit the cowl in only the angora, the colors didnt do this. I do wish they had.

Was it the perfect number of stitches on the first cowl that led to the colors staying in line?

My neighbor has a wild bunny in her yard that she is calling Scoots. Scoots comes hopping up to her to take a tossed apple piece as a snack. She and Scoots have a bond going....

If she gets to the point of combing him......I'll have some more bunny fur and another cowl. Not likely, but with the price of life these days, I don't see any more angora in my knitting for awhile!


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

The cowl is beautiful! If you love angora, as I do, try The Cozy Rabbit Farm (www.cozyrabbitfarm.com). They have hand dyed angora for very reasonable prices. These days I'm saving my pennies for enough quivet to make a hat!

Looks so soft ... lovely. So warm looking also. Wish I could knit with angora. But the fuzzes drive me nuts! Well they don't like me anyway.

 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...
