Congratulations on the first year. My sister spins quviut (Muskox hair) in Nome, AK. I don't know what her wheel is called but the final results are gorgeous. We have geese and chickens near and Stewpot greets me each morning. We have an afternoon rooster who calls, oh, in the afternoon who I've named Cogburn. I think they feed him whiskey.

Love your allusion to of Brian Cox (aka "the thinking woman's crumpet"). Can we please have some details of your spinning adventures ta some time please? It's through spinning that I first found you. I keep coming back because I too live rurally, keep poultry, and have a guns (and the licence to go with them) but I knew nothing about pheasant shoots or gun dogs and I find all of that very interesting and am learning so much. Thank you Jennifer for a wonderful blog.<br /><br />Fran in Aus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-57407073318003671522015-01-08T03:12:11.915-08:002015-01-08T03:12:11.915-08:00So glad to see you're posting again, Jenn.

Here it's -4F this morning and very high winds with chills of -25F Brrrr. Glad the shoot ended up well, even with all the 4-footed party crashers. Looking forward to more news when you can. Take care. Happy New Year.

So he's really Brian Cocks. It's a terrible pun and I'm deeply ashamed, but who can resist the rare opportunity when poultry and science intersect?!<br />Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-15474481671621647152015-01-08T00:18:47.094-08:002015-01-08T00:18:47.094-08:00El - Good ID!

The roving is one of my sheep fleeces - Ewe 0007 in fact - which I sent to a mill in Yorkshire to be cleaned and carded, so I could just enjoy the spinning process for a change. Two-plyed, it's making between aran and chunky weight yarn.<br />Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-71858069085869733172015-01-07T15:19:10.296-08:002015-01-07T15:19:10.296-08:00Great turkey picture, and why is the chicken name...Great turkey picture, and why is the chicken named Brian Cox!!! mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071048039975457625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-88447182219083793552015-01-07T12:01:31.506-08:002015-01-07T12:01:31.506-08:00I spy...a Louet!
