DMAR Update for Week ending 4/11/09:
Michelle is maintaining her weight at 159 lbs. Although I wished she had gained something this past week at least she hasn’t lost any. Her appetite is good and her breathing seems to be much less labored. Overall I feel she is improving and look forward to her next weigh in on Friday.
I am now getting ready for shearing. For us it will happen on April 22nd. I have already printed up my Yokom McColl forms for the fiber samples. I am really happy that shearing will take place on our ranch this year. I just couldn’t imagine having to haul 26 alpacas to another person’s ranch.
I have now taken up knitting. I have made two scarves with regular Walmart yarn. After those two went well I decided to make a wrap out of alpaca yarn. I am almost done and have Tom really impressed. Not sure what my next project will be, but I do look forward to making other items out of alpaca.
