Amy! had a good post about a knitting wiki – and do read the comments for a link to another one. Zenifer posted a nice list of one-skein projects. Vicki posted a list of triangular shawls organized by how many yards of yarn they use. Both things sound as if they would be great additions to a Wiki!
Yesterday I had the most amazing gluten- and lactose-free frozen dessert – Organic Rice Divine by Good Karma Foods (make sure your sound is turned down and that you have Flash installed). Click Products, then Pints. I tried Mudd Pie, which was very tasty (coffee flavor, with gluten-free brownie bits in it). But I am totally in love with Carrot Cake, which tastes exactly like carrot cake and even has bits of gluten-free carrot cake in it. I hadn’t had cookie/cake bits in ice cream or “frozen dessert” for over 10 years (since being diagnosed as celiac). Bliss.
Jeanne and I went to Shepherd’s Harvest on Saturday. We had great weather! I’m going to spread my report out over a few days and today is Lamb Day, featuring some pictures that Jeanne took of me. The little black lamb was a Shetland and the white lamb was an Icelandic. Aren’t they adorable?! (I don’t know how Jeanne always manages to get so much, um, chest in the pictures.) (Please note that the cats are taking a vacation day today. They’re just too hot to do much of anything – it was 92F yesterday!)
Those little lambs are adorable!
I really hope you managed to sneak the little Shetland home and that it’s on its way here 😉
I did notice the cleavage!
Oh! I so want one of those cute little lambs! Although I’m pretty sure the guys would have issues.
Ooo, thanks for the tip on the desert! I’m going to be looking it up. *crossing fingers they have it in Canada*
The lambs are sooooo sweet!
awww those lambs are so sweet:-)
Perhaps you should show the photos of the little black guy to the cats- they might think it is competition:-)
Those lambs are so sweet! I want one!
Though Lucy might have issues with that.
92 degrees?! Seriously? Isn’t that a touch warm for this time of year?
The ice cream sounds really, really good, and I’ll bet it must have been…ten years is a long time to go without treats inside ice cream.
Wait, pictures of chest are bad? 😛 better than no chest. Or something.
Mmmmm I’ll have to come and try these, mmmmmm.
LAMBIES! It’s a good thing my acquisional disease is merely catchenal in nature. How friendly were they?
Those little lambs are just so cute!
Bet you didn’t know you had so much cleavage? I loved the lambies!
I would like to join the cats in protesting too d*%n hot!
Psst – hey kitty cats – mom’s shopping for lambs as pets. Just thought you ought to know. They upstaged you on the blog today.
:o)
Wow, contests, lambs AND cleavage all in one post!
The shot of the little white one, butt to the camera, looking up at you is SO cute. I wonder if they raise miniature lambs for apartment living?
Chris- Are you sure the little black one didn’t follow you home?
I would have snuck him out in my purse.
I’m sure Chaos and May would never notice it isn’t a kitty. Just think of all the lovely fiber!
oh sweet tiny lambs!!
Oh, the lambs are so cute!!
Wasn’t the weather weird yesterday? I went out to SH in the morning and was just freezing. Just as we were leaving at 2:00 it started to warm up, but it was still pretty chilly with the wind. I made one stop and when I came out an hour later, it’s hotter than heck! I don’t remember such a rapid temperature rise before.
Who-hoo! Wool! and Cleavage!
Dave is such a perv…clevage…
Love those pictures!! All kinds of cuteness!!
Thanks for the link to Good Karma – I had just about accepted that there are no good frozen non-dairy treats but those look yummmmmmy!
92 degrees? That’s pretty much what it was in San Antonio yesterday — I thought moving to the Midwest would mean cooler weather.
And the lambs are adorable — I agree that the black one would fit right into your herd!
Oh, there were lambs in those pictures?
How did you resist stealing those little lambs and smuggling them home? I’d have never made it.
Great photos! Those lambs are adorable.
Adorable little lambkins!
Those lambs are sooo cute. Hey, you know if you’ve got it, flaunt it!!!
Awww, those little lambies are too damn sweet!
I’m so jealous of your 92 degree weather – I love it when it gets to 90ish weather (of course that only happens for a couple days a year around here).
What cute lambs! Hope May and Chaos didn’t get jealous.
Awwww, the wee little sheepies!
hehehe… before I started reading I saw that first picture with the black lamb and I thought ‘hey, Chaos is looking weird today :)’. I had to laugh out loud when I read it was a lamb and not a cat hehehe.
Cheers Eva
Man, some mint jelly and you’d be all set.
Just kiddin. [insert winky smiley face here]
Yowza! ;^)
How did you resist taking one of those lambs home with you?! The black one would have fit right in. Like a very big cat with hair you can actually use!
What adorable little lambs! Were there fleeces soft? I bet Chaos and May are jealous.
They are so gorgeous! I just want to cuddle another one right now!
Oh the cuteness! And the cleavage! 😉
aww, little baby lambs! so cute. 🙂
Looking at that first photo, I thought you had brought Chaos outside.
Those lambs are smaller than Chaos, aren’t they?
OMGosh. Those lambs are the absolute cutest!
Such sweet lambs! Chaos and May probably smelled the lambs on you when you got home. I wonder if they knew what it was?
Crohn’s and celiac together must be a real challenge. One of the GYGIG riders (that I know of; there may be more) also has this, and I think it’s amazing that they take on the long ride with nutritional challenges like that — you can’t just pop a Powerbar! The sport beans seem to be OK, though.
Those lambs are adorable… Now, if I sneak one in with a collar and lead, do we think anyone will notice? Please say no, please say no…
Cute pics! Baaaaa 🙂
Oh, man! May turned all WOOLY, and what’s up with Chaos? He’s not only wooly, he’s gone WHITE! Holy cow!
Just kidding…LOVE the sheepish poses. Looks like a fun day!
I betcha you were sore tempted to tuck that Shetland under your arm and take him home.
How adorable are those lambikins!
ahhh! they’re so cute i want to own them ~ but not eat them… just own… 🙂
Oh my gosh so cute! i love the one with the little white lamb coming up to you with its nose
umm did M & C refuse to pose today because you were putting sheep up? lol
are they put out?
what, we don’t get a full report? I have to keep checking back? oh, man. (yeah, I know. that’ll be hard for me. ;))
I hadn’t scrolled all the way and wondered why Chaos was outside and what you were doing to him. and then I realized it was a sheep.
did you see the baby goat in the alpaca barn? I missed the lambs (well, unless they were in a barn hiding behind their mama), but that baby goat…. I wanted to take it home. (maybe I should wait til you get to goat and/or alpaca day for that, hey?)
hey, do you have a pic of your black purl lorna’s socks? I wanna see how it knits up so I can pick a pattern
those cute little lambs totally made my day.
The shame is that they grow up!
I (as usual) would choose the black one…too funny considering whose blog I’m on…
Poor kitties 92 is awful.
Thank you for the triangle shawl listing link…I’m putting it on my blog for future reference! (But I think I already own about 1/2 of the pattersn…lololol!)
(((hugs)))
Aw, they’re adorable. Looks like Chaos and May could have lamb-sibs if they wanted — the little lambs seem to like you a lot!!
Oh, how sweet!!!!
Look at the little lambs!
oooooo…sheepy goodness! baabaa!
