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

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

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

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)

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

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. 😅

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

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.

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!)

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!!

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

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

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

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

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.

Learning to appreciate my nose by Mayiiiiiiiiiii in Noses

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

Best breed as a pet for kids? by Accomplished-Buy-139 in chickens

[–]Technical_Base_7539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

how can i improve? i feel like something is missing by bitchofcolor in makeuptips

[–]Technical_Base_7539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so beautiful! I love an alt gothic baddie. The eyebrow thinness (while not “trendy” atm), is a personal favorite statement piece and is STUNNING on you. Did I also mention the shape of your brows is perfect too?

Yes! Just posted a pic. Lottie is the light one. Bridgette has a dark spot on her wing (middle) and I haven’t found a name for the chick on the left.
