Bighorn Sheep Rams

While we were on a trip to harvest firewood, we came across a large herd of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep–what a treat!  These sheep aren’t for wool, of course, but they are gorgeous.  These two big rams were leading about 15 ewes and kids.  If you look closely in the picture you can see another immature ram (the other white rear end) and the legs and lower body of a smaller kid behind the two dominant males.

Modern Day Cattle Drive

Yesterday we left Jackson for the TKGA Knit and Crochet Show, after loading up the new truck.  Only 40 miles outside of Jackson, here’s what we encountered:

Those little ones are the calfs born last spring.  Don’t know if you can see the cowboys way in back, but two are on horseback and the last one was on a motorcycle!

Oh, and here’s a photo of our new truck:

Amanda vest in Super 10
Hands Down FavoriteWe had a sample of this vest in #3995 Persian Red at Stitches West and literally could not meet the demand!  This is a real winner in a simple lace pattern,  you will love it no matter which one of the more than 80 colors you choose.Super 10 has so many great qualities:  it’s machine wash and dry, won’t split, won’t pill, won’t shrink, it’s  soft, colorfast, and has a permanent shine.

Of course it’s fabulous for adult garments, including shawls and sweaters, but you can use Super 10 for household items  (placemats, pillows, handtowels), baby items (blankets, hats)  and of course kids love it!
