Without doubt the most traumatic birth I have ever attended. Mama goat is on the left, her name is Daffy and she is one of my most precious girls here at Whistlebare. She is the only adult daughter of elderly matriarch Blossom that we have and she is a wonderfully friendly sweetheart. It took me nearly an hour to help Daffy birth her kids. The first one had his head backwards and I despaired of ever getting him out and was stunned that he was still alive when born - hard to see through all the tears. He was followed closely by his sister who’s legs were back, so tricky too. Most heart warming of all was when lovely Damsel came over to help Daffy with her babies. Goats are the most wonderful beasts :) These babies aren’t out of the woods yet so please wish them well and know that we will be doing everything in our power for them and their mum. #whistlebare #farmerinafrock #whistlebareyarn #familyfarm #singlefarmyarn #angoragoats #goatkids #wonderfulmumma #soproud #britishwool #britishyarn #northumberland

As the Annual is a nod to the childhood annuals of old, it’s pages have a few splendid activities and puzzles all designed by the fab @katiegreenbean ✏️✏️✏️ Katie has created a spot the difference with John, a word search, title page, and an incredible two page spread which really bring our Mill to life - a spot Mr Smoke in the Mill (just a corner of which is pictured above). How amazing is the detail on all those machines?! Mr Smoke is John & Juliet’s much loved old rescue cat. There are two Mr Smokes in the crop above, just in case you feel the need to practice before your copy arrives. And for anyone whose copy has arrived already, do let us know if you managed to spot all ten! LINK IN PROFILE to get your hands on a copy. We also have an option to collect @wonderwoolwales for any of you splendid folk attending the show next weekend. ☺️

My #cockatoobrae #cardigan now completed ( but in need of some steaming) main colour and orange are from @jcrennie1798 mixed with @jamiesonsofshetland #spindrift for the yoke . Pattern from @katedaviesdesigns . Burtons and ribbon from @textilegarden . I enjoyed myself very much knitting it ! I bought yarn and book at #eyf2017 so I can say it took me some time to knit it . #fairisle #fairisleknitting #shetlandwool #britishyarn #colourworkknitting #slowlife #handmadewardrobe #imarealknitter
