[Jacob-list] Karakul Fleece

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

I am a case of putting the cart in front of the horse!
 
First we bought the sheep, The I learned to spin, and I am just now  learning 
to knit!  LOL!
 
So, Yes, Im really into learning the method before  really   wanting a 
product!  
 
Im still on the knit and pearl stitch on a very slow to come together  scarf! 
 But I have Lofty goals!
 
Most folks learn to knit well, then spin, then buy animals.. I just  reversed 
the order!
 
I have spun a little of the Jacob, and am far from perfection.. Am having  
trouble with consistency of my yarn... SO I was looking at this as a fleece to  
practice on!
 
Is anyone else showing at the National Western?  We have 1 or 2 in  every 
available class for Nat. Colored sheep.....I hope we do well!
 
We are taking the Ewe and Ram that were Grand Ch. at the Estes Park (Colo)  
Wool Festival.  Im a bit concerned as the ram lamb that won it all.. He has  an 
INCREDIBLE fleece.. But really not much clearance on his horns....I guess I  
will be educated if I am over-analyzing.
 
My ewe that was grand is another concern... as she injured her eye this  
summer...... But has fully recovered without so much as a dot... But she does  
have a spot of a few missing hairs on her lid.. I hope it isn't mistaken as a  
split eyelid.
