Romney Ridge Farm - "beautiful yarns from happy sheep"

The mailman delivered a package from Kelly at Romney Ridge Farm - she recently had a special of $5 off a few different colors of skeins of yarn. I bought 3 skeins of the "daylily" dye lot. Here is a photo of what I received today in the mail.

This will go nicely with the other yarns I bought from Kelly. And I think I will make an afghan for myself over the winter months. I hope to teach myself to knit during this winter. And just bought the most appropriate book for me - "Knitting for Dummies".

Just thought I'd share this yarn treasure with you today. Ya'll try and stay cool, now. And have a great weekend. Take care All, from KY.

BabyDoll-Bunny Yarn and a Doggy Afghan

I recently bought some yarn from Kelly at Romney Ridge Farm - it is a natural color yarn made of BabyDoll wool and Angora Bunny hair. Here is a photo of the yarn.

It is a kind of bulky weight, and extremely light and soft. I have to decide what I will make with it, but believe I will try and crochet at least one pair of socks for myself. Then decide what to do with the rest.

I've been working on a crocheted afghan throw for an online friend of mine who lives in Chicago. She has Chinese Crested dogs, and they have very little body hair, so chill easily in the Summer air conditioned home. I crocheted one afghan and sent it to her, and am now working on another. My friend, Ginger, picked out some great looking cotton yarn with colors known at Blueberry Fields. She found it at this website Knit One Crochet Too - it is the best cotton yarn I've ever crocheted with, and beautiful colors as well.

Here is a photo of what I have done so far on Payton's (Ginger's puppy) afghan - you can see the different colors of the yarn - what is known on the website as Ty Dy.

The afghan is going to end up being about 46 inches wide, and 27 inches long. It turned out wider than I had expected, but hopefully will work OK for Ginger, and especially for Payton!

Just something to share with ya'll that has been going on with me in Fayette Co KY lately.

Ya'll have a blessed Monday evening. Take care, from KY.

Just Have To Share - Romney Ridge Farm

As some of you know from my past postings, I have learned to crochet. Recently, I started following Kelly at Romney Ridge Farm on Facebook - Kelly had an offer in the last week or so where she had too much of a purple dyelot. So, she offered a free skein of purple yarn if you bought 2 skeins of any color. So, I bought some of her yarn. 2 skeins of Red Grape, and 2 skeins of Lilac. So I also received 2 skeins of Purple. I've decided to keep the yarn for a project for myself, and will probably do some type of afghan. I'm not ready to tackle any type of crocheted clothing. But I wanted to share the yarn skeins with ya'll, so you know the high quality of Kelly's wool. You can also follow Kelly on her blog Romney Ridge Farm Journal and you can find her products and more information about her farm on her webpage Romney Ridge Farm

Now I'm going to try my best and get these 3 photos in the right order, in the right place on this blog posting. I'm still learning the ins and outs of my blog template, so bare with me here. LOL

Purple

Red Grape

Lilac

Each skein is approximately 245 yards, and is worsted weight

That's it for tonight. So hop on over to Romney Ridge Farm

and see what Kelly has to offer. I highly recommend her.

Take care, from KY - 'night All.
