Lilly, Hybrid Angora Rabbit (1/2 Satin, 1/2 German)
Lilly is my "old lady" and had a hair cut 2 days ago. She will live in my house until her hair is at least 1 1/2 inches long and we have some warm days. She gave me 4 oz in 3 months and it is a beautiful off white color with brownish tips. The cuffs of the knitting needles are the beginning of a pair of socks. I am using yarn I had spun at Green Mountain Spinnery. It is a blend of wool 60% and Mohair 40%. I am using tuffs of Angora around the top, strips and for the toes and heels of this pair of socks. I am hoping to keep this pair of socks and testing them to see how they hold up. The wool gives me the elasticity, Angora Warmth and the Mohair is for strength.

Happy to see you posting again. I check in on your blog every so often. The 2 bunnies I got from you (Hagrid II and a Fawn female)over a year ago are doing great. In fact if I can get my act together I am hoping to breed them early this spring. Hope you had a great holiday. Anna
