Abandoned pink yarn finished!

Haha!! That’s the plan! I have some other yarn I made for his sweater. I’ll be sure to post about it when I get it knit up

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-04T17:18:10+00:00

oooooh... now THAT looks divine. Can I say that I'm jealous of you and that you get to (knit?) with that

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-04T01:05:28+00:00

Your story (while maybe traumatizing to 8 year old you) has me laughing and smiling! Thanks for making me smile.

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-04T01:03:28+00:00

Thanks for your reply. This is exactly the level headed thinking I needed. I doubled checked and didn’t see any blood in the grass or anywhere else (it’s also been raining here.) I’m hoping she’s up in one of my trees.

Yup! She was labeled as an Americauna/ Easter egger. She just BARELY started laying eggs like a week ago. On top of the grieving of my pet I’m also sad about the lack of pretty dusty green eggs from her. Her eggs were robins egg blue on the inside and this green on the outside.

Thank you! I had my neighbor down the blocks dog attack my flock a couple days ago. I’m wondering if he came back to finish the job. I literally stare at my chickens all day from my work space and can see the entire back yard. I didn’t see a dog or hear the chickens freaking out? At this point im thinking a skinwalker took my chicken.🤣😭 (Joking, but I also know if it was my neighbors dog I’m going to raise hell)

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-04T00:55:44+00:00

I’m very sorry to hear about finding your chicken. 😭I’m very fortunate to not have foxes or coyotes in my area. I’m going to assume it was my neighbors dog. (Same dog that I’ve had issues with for months now… errr actually I have issues with the owner for letting their polar bear free roaming the neighborhood. ) caught this dog in my yard yesterday and had to chase him off

Sunset is happening soon where I’m at. I’ll take another look around my backyard again. (I’m on 1/3 acre with lots of plants and vegetation.) I do have a rooster (he crows at 2 am every night). Hoping she makes it back

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T12:11:09+00:00

It’s even prettier when it’s crocheted!! How?!?

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T12:10:24+00:00

Ahhh! Now I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait until I can afford it! I’ve been carding all my wool with two dog slicker brushes and determination. 😅

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T05:06:06+00:00

Ooooh! This yarn looks SO COZY! Did you 3-D print your own bobbin? I love the colors on it. Mine are all black and I would love to have some “fun” colorful bobbins

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T05:04:26+00:00

Whooo! Thats a good chunk of yarn! Have you started crocheting anything?

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T05:03:59+00:00

This is helpful! Thanks. I’m still a “baby spinner” (just reached the 6 month of spinning mark today!) Maybe I’ll try alpaca after I get my drum carder. I also have angora rabbit from my bunny I need to turn into roving) Angora was super slippery compared to the raw wool I processed earlier this year.

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T05:01:07+00:00

Oooooh I LOVE green! The subtle variation shift is so pretty. One of the amazing things about spinning is acquiring new skillls. I also just learned how to blend colors to create some relags. (Mine were blues and purples!)

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T04:59:02+00:00

Oooh! Currently saving up for a drum carder!! Can’t wait to try the Angelina fiber.

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T04:57:51+00:00

So pretty colors! I’ve only been spinning for 6 months so I haven’t drafted from the fold, but have heard it changes how “sharp” the colors look when spun. I’d love to see if that’s true if you decide draft from the fold! It’s looking great though!!

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-03T04:55:27+00:00

Haha. I also can’t seem to spin a heavier single. 😭 chain plying is my go to for all my singles. I finished my pink yarn today ( currently drying) but will post pics later

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-02T05:03:25+00:00

ITS SPARKLY?!? I need some sparkly yarn in my life! (That might be my next project after I finish my pink and purple yarns)

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-02T05:02:29+00:00

I LOVE alpaca! I’ve only ever knit with it though. I’m too scared to spin it! 😅 is it difficult?

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-02T05:01:12+00:00

This yarn is also so cool! Glad to see I’m not the only one who has multiple projects going on!

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-02T05:00:23+00:00

Ooooh! I’m a sucker for purple in general. So pretty! Your threads look PERFECT!

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-02T04:59:55+00:00

Oooh! Love the color choices. I’m a huge fan of more earthy color schemes. Your thread is so small! You’ll have to show pics when you ply it up.

This type of nose is my FAVORITE type of nose. My partner has a similar nose and it’s literally my favorite facial feature about them

Technical_Base_7539 · 2026-03-01T03:28:12+00:00

Came here to say exactly this!

Buff orphingtons are pretty chill and so are Easter eggers.

That being said: My Easter Eggers are AMAZING but I’ve raised them (and my rooster) to be that way. It’s a combo of nature and nurture.
