Peak floof!!!!
moonshadowpines.bsky.social Moonshadow Pines Alpaca Farm @moonshadowpines.bsky.social · Mar 12
The weather just took a turn for the warmer. With shearing only 4 weeks away, we may be seeing peak floof right now!
Inside a barn stall, three alpaca are eating hay, two are facing the camera, one has his floofy butt to the camera. The black boy in the back has hay hanging out of his mouth, as is his common practice. The brown boy is making strong eye contact.

Imbolc is upon us, the time between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Now is the time to carefully consider what we choose to plant and nurture in our garden.

The class list is up for Maryland Sheep and Wool, if anyone needs a pleasant distraction.

Making some footless kilt hose for my husband. Working on adjusting Earth Mama Legwarmers pattern by Wolf&Faun Knits to fit his leg and my chosen yarn.
Cable knit legwarmer on the right. Horseshoe cables (6 stitch) pointing down with lace and 2-stitch cables to either side of the main. Crocheted basket/bowl holding more skeins of yarn in the middle. Also pictured is a set of Gloom cards and a wrist ruler.

The farm has its own account now, so that you can more closely follow the antics of the alpaca!

This was Ben on January 01. I am going to tell myself he looks floofier than his November photo!

Chaos knitting! No pattern, no rules, just winging it. My hat turned out a little more gnome-like than I intended, but it is soft and warm. Finally, I did something with a bulky weight alpaca yarn that had been sitting in my stash.

Scene from a marriage:
Husband- Would you like some goat cheese on a Ritz?
Wife- You are so sexy right now.

Jillian Eve's newest video is a tutorial about #SupportSpinning. It's pretty comprehensive. I wind a temporary cop rather than wind directly onto the main cop. Good thing to watch if people are interested in this type of #handspinning.

The ladies are eating snow. The buckets have fresh water. The automatic heated waterer is working. This is next-level mockery and sass.

Bulky weight alpaca scarf. I definitely like the additional structure that cables give to this yarn.

The boys as they were in November. Let’s see how fluffy they get between now and shearing time!

Some alpaca fiber that I am currently spinning. Just a single at the moment, but I think it wants to be a 3-ply yarn.

There is a perfectly good heated waterer that automatically refills between the ladies’ and boys’ paddocks, accessible to everyone. The boys love it. The ladies prefer to just stare at a frozen bucket, then at the house, then the bucket again. Sigh. I did this to myself.
