This weeks lambs

  

We have had a few more lambs this week, some very memorable ones...

                         Olive, is a daughter of Osie.  This is the day that Olive was born in 2010.

I showed you both of their pictures last week as I was watching them, waiting for their upcoming lambs.  Olive was first on Friday she had a big beautiful ewe lamb.  Not without trouble, but they doing great now.
                                                     
                                                                                   

Then on Sunday morning I walk into the barn and found Osie, with triplets, triplet ewe lambs, WOW!!



All on her own, 3 happy lambs.  For those of you who wonder how do you carry three lambs...its not that easy!!

We still have a dozen or so ewes to lamb.  I am still keeping  a close watch on them all, but life is getting back to normal.

Later this week I will tell you about my field trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, the 1st of March, is the one that I have been waiting for.  I just love a fresh fallen snow.  Everything is so still and clean.  The bright white snow untouched by anyone or anything.  In just a few hours it will be shrinking and by Saturday we are predicted to have 50 degrees and rain.  This has been a short season of snow.  I am going to enjoy it today!!

Knitting Like Crazy Mystery Shawl 2011

Speaking of Saturday...at TheYarn Shop a group of us will be casting on a new mystery shawl.  If your not familiar with the process, each week, for four weeks, we are given new clues by the pattern designer.  All we know ahead of time is that we will be using 400 yards of fingering weight yarn and a size 4 circular needle.  This KAL pattern is written by Jen Lucas.  This is a link to her pattern page. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knitting-like-crazy-mystery-shawl-2012  Its a free pattern and I'm sure you must all have some fingering weight yarn in your stash :-)  If not I have plenty here in The Yarn Shop.  She is offering a few prizes on her ravelry group.  http://www.ravelry.com/groups/knitting-like-crazy-fans 

I would love to have you join us.  We are meeting at 10am.  If your not able to join us you can still join in the fun on your own.  Sign up and post your project page on The Foster Sheep Farm group http://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-yarn-shop-at-foster-sheep-farm  I will also be offering a prize to be announced on Saturday.

Until then, enjoy the snow!!!
