&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt;J&apos;ai &#xe9;t&#xe9; occup&#xe9;e &#xe0; travailler sur ma nouvelle boutique Etsy: &lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://happyskein.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;http://happyskein.etsy.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt;Je continue &#xe0; ajouter des articles r&#xe9;guli&#xe8;rement, d&#xe8;s que je prends des photos...&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, back to out sheep...&amp;nbsp; So, that&apos;s right, I now have four sheep.&amp;nbsp; But they are not just any sheep, they are Shetland sheep!&amp;nbsp; See, I am a Shetland addict; I love spinning Shetland.&amp;nbsp; So far I have been getting Shetland fleeces at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival from Kathy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.potosisheepfarm.com/&quot;&gt;Potosi Sheep Farm &lt;/a&gt;and it turns out that Kathy lives only about a half hour from here.&amp;nbsp; So when we decided to get sheep, we went to see her and bought those four lambs from her.&amp;nbsp; Kathy is great with sheep... and people!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt;Mais de retour &#xe0; nos moutons... Et oui, j&apos;ai maintenant quatre moutons.&amp;nbsp; Mais ce ne sont pas n&apos;importe quelle sorte de moutons, ce sont des moutons Shetland!&amp;nbsp; Vous voyez, je suis accro au Shetland; j&apos;adore filer le Shetland.&amp;nbsp; Jusqu&apos;&#xe0; pr&#xe9;sent j&apos;avais achet&#xe9; mes toisons Shetland au Maryland Sheep and Wool festival chez Kathy de &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.potosisheepfarm.com/&quot;&gt;Potosi Sheep Farm &lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt; et il s&apos;av&#xe8;re que Kathy habite &#xe0; seulement environ une demie heure d&apos;ici.&amp;nbsp; Alors lorsque nous avons d&#xe9;cid&#xe9; d&apos;avoir des moutons, nous sommes all&#xe9;s la voir et avons achet&#xe9; ces quatre agneaux.&amp;nbsp; Kathy est formidable avec les moutons... et les gens !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt; Misha a &#xe9;t&#xe9; &#xe9;lev&#xe9; au biberon.&amp;nbsp; Il a un peu de Blue Face Leicester en lui (Kathy &#xe9;l&#xe8;ve &#xe9;galement des BFL).&amp;nbsp; Il est tr&#xe8;s amitieux et est le premier &#xe0; se mettre dans le p&#xe9;trin...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/87/06/43010/46580320.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;251&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/87/06/43010/46580320_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Pollux_20Oct09&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pollux is dark brown with three white feet and the tip of his tail is also white.&amp;nbsp; He has a very dense fleece, a little shorter than the others.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt;Pollux est marron fonc&#xe9; avec trois pattes blanches et le bout de sa queue est &#xe9;galement blanc.&amp;nbsp; Il a une toison tr&#xe8;s dense, un peu plus courte que les autres.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/83/65/43010/46580399.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; alt=&quot;Vincent_20Oct09&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/83/65/43010/46580399_p.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Vincent is the most shy of them all.&amp;nbsp; He is starting to come to me, but still won&apos;t really let me pet him.&amp;nbsp; He has a beautiful fleece, too bad I can&apos;t touch him more...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt; Vincent est le plus timide de tous.&amp;nbsp; Il commence &#xe0; venir &#xe0; moi, mais il ne me laisse toujours pas vraiment le caresser.&amp;nbsp; Il a une toison magnifique, dommage que je ne puisse pas le toucher plus...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/90/27/43010/46580753.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;264&quot; alt=&quot;Shadow_20Oct09&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/90/27/43010/46580753_p.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Shadow is probably the boldest of them all (although Misha is not far behind).&amp;nbsp; He is the boss and will let everybody know.&amp;nbsp; But he is very friendly and loves being petted and demands undivided attention.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp; named him Shadow because he is black, but mostly because he follows me around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0033ff&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; Shadow est sans doute le plus intr&#xe9;pide de tous (bien que Misha n&apos;est pas tr&#xe8;s loin derri&#xe8;re).&amp;nbsp; Il est le patron et le fait savoir.&amp;nbsp; Mais il est tr&#xe8;s amitieux et adore &#xea;tre caress&#xe9; et exige mon attention exclusive.&amp;nbsp; Je l&apos;ai apell&#xe9; Shadow (anglais pour Ombre) car il est noir, mais surtout parce qu&apos;il me suit partout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:11:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>I&apos;m Baaack !!!!</title><dc:creator>happyskein</dc:creator><link>http://happyskein.canalblog.com/archives/2009/08/21/14806492.html</link><comments>http://happyskein.canalblog.com/archives/2009/08/21/14806492.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://happyskein.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/14806492/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://happyskein.canalblog.com/archives/2009/08/21/14806492.html</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#6600cc&quot;&gt;I can&apos;t believe it has been so long since I last posted!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m still here!&amp;nbsp; Well, I did move... not very far though, but I&apos;ll talk about it later.&amp;nbsp; Right now I can&apos;t wait to show you my new babies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Sounds suspicious right there, doesn&apos;t it?&amp;nbsp; But no, be reassured, it works.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I had three balls of yarn for the shawl.&amp;nbsp; Upon finishing the first one, I thought I wouldn&apos;t have enough to finish, so I modified the pattern to make it smaller.&lt;br /&gt;Upon finishing the second ball, I started having doubts again; maybe I still wasn&apos;t going to have enough.&amp;nbsp; So while knitting the third and last ball, I started knitting faster and faster, glancing more and more often at that ball of yarn which was getting smaller and smaller way too fast!&lt;br /&gt;Well yes, it&apos;s like when you&apos;re driving and you realize that you are running low on gas.&amp;nbsp; What do you do?&amp;nbsp; You start driving faster so that you can reach the gas station before running out of gas, no?&lt;br /&gt;Same thing here.&lt;br /&gt;Then comes a first phase of denial.&amp;nbsp; If I hide the problem, then it will go away, right?&amp;nbsp; So I put the ball in my knitting bag and stopped looking at it.&amp;nbsp; Ah, much better!&amp;nbsp; And I can knit much faster when I am not constantly staring at the ball!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I was going to win the race with the yarn.&lt;br /&gt;But then all a sudden, disaster!&amp;nbsp; There is no more yarn coming out of the bag!&lt;br /&gt;Second phase of denial: there must be a break in the yarn.&amp;nbsp; So begins the frantic search through the bag for the remaining of the ball.&amp;nbsp; But alas, reality must set in, there is no more...&amp;nbsp; I didn&apos;t knit fast enough, I ran out of yarn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#6633cc&quot;&gt;I guess I just need to start over and knit faster this time!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#990000&quot;&gt;Visiblement, je n&apos;ai pas tricot&#xe9; assez vite derni&#xe8;rement.&amp;nbsp; Je suis tomb&#xe9;e &#xe0; cours de laine !&lt;br /&gt;Je suis en train de tricoter un ch&#xe2;le carr&#xe9; en ronds.&amp;nbsp; Semble suspicieux rien que l&#xe0;, non ?&amp;nbsp; Mais rassurez-vous, &#xe7;a marche.&lt;br /&gt;Bon, j&apos;avais trois pelotes de laine pour le ch&#xe2;le.&amp;nbsp; Apr&#xe8;s avoir termin&#xe9; la premi&#xe8;re, j&apos;ai pens&#xe9; que je n&apos;aurai pas assez pour finir, alors j&apos;ai modifi&#xe9; le mod&#xe8;le pour le faire plus petit.&lt;br /&gt;Apr&#xe8;s avoir termin&#xe9; la deuxi&#xe8;me pelote, j&apos;ai commenc&#xe9; &#xe0; avoir &#xe0; nouveau des doutes; je n&apos;allais peut-&#xea;tre pas avoir assez apr&#xe8;s tout.&amp;nbsp; Alors en tricotant la troisi&#xe8;me et derni&#xe8;re pelote, je me suis mise &#xe0; tricoter de plus en plus vite, tout en jetant un coup d&apos;oeil sur la pelote de plus en plus souvent tandis que celle-ci devenait de plus en plus petite bien trop rapidement !&lt;br /&gt;Ben oui, c&apos;est comme lorsque vous conduisez et que vous constatez qu&apos;il ne vous reste que tr&#xe8;s peu d&apos;essence.&amp;nbsp; Que faites-vous ?&amp;nbsp; Vous commencez &#xe0; conduire plus vite afin que vous puissiez atteindre la pompe avant d&apos;&#xea;tre &#xe0; sec, non ?&lt;br /&gt;M&#xea;me chose ici.&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite vient une premi&#xe8;re phase de reniement.&amp;nbsp; Si je cache le probl&#xe8;me, il va dispara&#xee;tre, pas vrai ?&amp;nbsp; Alors j&apos;ai mis la pelote dans mon sac de tricot et j&apos;ai arr&#xea;t&#xe9; de la regarder.&amp;nbsp; Ah, c&apos;est beaucoup mieux !&amp;nbsp; Et je peux tricoter beaucoup plus vite lorsque je ne suis pas constamment en train de regarder la pelote !&amp;nbsp; Je vais gagner cette course contre la laine !&lt;br /&gt;Mais tout &#xe0; coup, d&#xe9;sastre !&amp;nbsp; Il n&apos;y a plus de laine qui sort du sac !&lt;br /&gt;Deuxi&#xe8;me phase de reniement: il doit y avoir une cassure dans la laine.&amp;nbsp; Alors commence la recherche effr&#xe9;n&#xe9;e &#xe0; travers le sac pour le reste de la pelote.&amp;nbsp; Mais h&#xe9;las, la r&#xe9;alit&#xe9; doit s&apos;imposer, il n&apos;y en a plus...&amp;nbsp; Je n&apos;ai pas tricot&#xe9; assez vite et je suis &#xe0; cours de laine !&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;Il y a deux weekends, j&apos;ai teint un peu de laine.&amp;nbsp; J&apos;ai fait cinq couleurs diff&#xe9;rentes: violet fonc&#xe9;, rouge, violet clair, bleu clair et turquoise.&amp;nbsp; Je n&apos;avais rien en t&#xea;te lorsque j&apos;ai commenc&#xe9;.&amp;nbsp; J&apos;ai card&#xe9; les couleurs s&#xe9;paremment, puis j&apos;ai commenc&#xe9; &#xe0; les m&#xe9;langer.&amp;nbsp; J&apos;avais tr&#xe8;s approximativement 1/3 de violet fonc&#xe9;, 1/3 de rouge, 1/6 de violet clair, 1/6 de bleu clair et 1/6 de turquoise.&amp;nbsp; J&apos;ai commenc&#xe9; par une couche de violet fonc&#xe9;; puis une couche avec une bande de turquoise d&apos;un c&#xf4;t&#xe9;, une bande de violet clair de l&apos;autre et une bande de bleu clair au milieu; et enfin une couche de rouge.&amp;nbsp; J&apos;ai recard&#xe9; les nappes plusieurs fois jusqu&apos;&#xe0; ce que les couleurs soient un peu m&#xe9;lang&#xe9;es.&amp;nbsp; Voici ce &#xe0; quoi &#xe7;a ressemblait pendant le cardage:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/25/15/43010/15313067.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;200&quot; alt=&quot;IMG_1240&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/25/15/43010/15313067_p.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#006666&quot;&gt;And here it is during spinning:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;Et voici en cours de filage:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/02/09/43010/15313071.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;200&quot; alt=&quot;multi&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/02/09/43010/15313071_p.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#006666&quot;&gt;I&apos;m guessing that my playing with colors is what inspired ME; but that night we had grilled chicken for dinner, I mean &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#33cc33&quot;&gt;GREEN&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; grilled chicken &lt;img src=&quot;http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Reflexion/ben-voyons23.gif&quot; /&gt; :&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;Je devine que de me voir jouer avec les couleurs a inspir&#xe9; ME; mais ce soir l&#xe0; nous avons eu du poulet grill&#xe9;, je veux dire du poulet grill&#xe9; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#33cc33&quot;&gt;VERT &lt;img src=&quot;http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Reflexion/ben-voyons23.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
