Forget the Fleece...

Okay, not really....but look at these eyes! 



He's still very much a shy mama's boy, but he's getting a little more curious.
30 lbs of adorable. (and yes, he does have ears... they are just tucked back.)
I'm currently calling him Joey...short for Copper Joe.  I say currently because I'm not sure if it suits, but I wanted the Copper part in there for his colour.

I'm beating the heat at Ralph Johnston's basement weaving studio these days.


I've woven a couple of alpaca rugs in plain weave.  These are the first alpaca rugs I have woven.  The thick rug yarn has a jute cord in the centre and weaves up very quickly.  I'm anxious to get some more rug yarn milled so I can experiment with different patterns.

I've also been using the heat as an excuse to lay around and watch some TV series from the library.  Laying around is a new art form for me...and I must say, I am learning to enjoy it.

 
Are you familiar with Downton Abbey?  I work part-time in the Audio Visual department of the city library and was quite bewildered by the obsession over the Downton Abbey series.  But now, I'm hooked into the characters and story line.
And, ER has George Clooney.  Need I say more?  The library owns fifteen seasons of ER...I'm only up to season four.  I do hope George Clooney is in all fifteen seasons.
Speaking of obsession.
Ahhhhhhh.

The eyes!
Maybe I should call the cria George.  Or Copper George.
