Not one, but two new projects cast on.
First, I've started an angora stuffed bunny. I purchased a boat load of angora when one of my LYSs went out of business. Why I did this I don't really know. But what better use for fluffy angora than to knit bunnies? I'll keep you posted on how this turns out but so far it is super soft and I won't have to wear it. ;=}
Second, the textured shawl. I bought two skeins of expensive, at least to me, alpaca on my trip to Philly a couple of years ago. Souvenir yarn you know. I had no idea what to do with it until I had a brainstorm ... why one of the projects in my ravelry favs used just 2 skeins of this exact yarn. Yeah a project is born. So far I'm loving it... also very soft with good texture. See a theme here... loving me some soft yarn.
Of course the other fun is chicken fun. Ready for your weekly dose of cute? Be sure to listen for Sterling whining through the door. He so wants to come
And how bout a close up?
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Good idea with the angora - its a perfect bunny color! Also, great choice of what to do with the green alpaca yarn. I think the pattern is perfect for it's subtle variegation.
P.S. Bug and Moana loved watching the videos of your chicks! I'm sure they would like some of there own :)
Ooo i've got that bunny pattern too, but I haven't tried it yet - i'll be interested to see how you find it :)
Oooh, that angora is gorgeous! I want to reach through the screen and pet it. I'm also loving your green textured shawl in progress. I just started one of those for a friend in fingering weight, but have a feeling I'm going to need one for me too...
What a great idea for bunny knitting. I have some angora but it is purple! I love the green yarn you are using.
The texture in that green alpaca piece is just gorgeous!
Loving that angora!! What could be more perfect for knit bunnies?!? The green textured shawl looks great so far too, and of course, you know I love the color!
