It is nice to hear about your experience and it does offer some reassurance, thanks. I know they will be a great addition to our family and my little man will love them. I just have to put everything I read out of my mind, get ready for them as we should and then sit back and enjoy the adventure.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-54612867057547525272012-03-01T11:14:15.112-05:002012-03-01T11:14:15.112-05:00Beautiful! you wear it well.Beautiful! you wear it well.lisa @littlecoffeebeanshttp://littlecoffeebeans.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-50997511996629369362012-03-01T07:25:35.884-05:002012-03-01T07:25:35.884-05:00The shawl is beautiful!

And I guess some basic knowledge before acquiring the chickens is indeed important, but really, the books make everything sound so complicated and frightening. Our chickens have been quite easy. Ours do get locked in at night for safety, and are sometimes stuck in their outdoor yard (fences all around now, including the top, due to escaping hens who had fatal encounters with the dog - which is always heartbreaking). Our chickens have been SUCH a welcome addition to the farm. Okay, so I don't know that this was the reassurance you were looking for. But, really, we adore the creatures.W-S Wanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242784517253760863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-14756483968878239912012-02-29T23:46:17.862-05:002012-02-29T23:46:17.862-05:00Thanks Julie, that pattern comes from The Chicks w...Thanks Julie, that pattern comes from The Chicks with Sticks Guide to Knitting. I didn't follow the pattern fully as I found the mohair to be a bit of a challenge, so made it a little easier on myself.<br /><br />Good to know on the chooks front. The cleaning won't be a problem, I can handle that. I think I just need to step away from that book and chill out a bit. <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts on my grandad, appreciated.<br /><br />I saw the post on your son, hope he heals well.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-61863606736114694882012-02-29T23:41:45.084-05:002012-02-29T23:41:45.084-05:00Thanks Tracey.

This is the ancient way of passing on from one generation to the next the knowledge of and connection to nature. At its very best it helps individuals realize their full potential to the benefit of their community. It is pretty powerful stuff.<br /><br />Reece and I are planning to attend a week long camp this summer on the Art of Mentoring which is based on Coyote Mentoring.

I pictured chickens freely roaming around our yard, but the book makes it seem like they need to be in a fenced in area with a roof. I see lots of blog pictures with chickens roaming, so I am assuming that is okay as long as they are locked up at night away from anything that might eat them :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-55259112576945376152012-02-29T23:35:08.501-05:002012-02-29T23:35:08.501-05:00Good to know.

I am currently knitting a scarf with some hand dyed, hand spun, I think, alpaca. I will post about it when I'm finished. <br /><br />We have chooks and I would highly recommend them. Once you have their house set up they aren't a lot of work. The worst bit is cleaning out their sleeping quarters as it can get a little smelly and it isn't much fun when it has been raining. If you can handle that you're set, easy, peasy. We had never had chooks until about 3 years ago and didn't grow up with them either, so were learning from scratch. I'll post about it soon. I had been thinking about doing this. <br />Sorry about your grandfather. I haven't read the post properly yet because I have been busy with my son and his broken wrist but will get to it soon. <br />Take care, Julie xxooJulie Maloney Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529876368067739360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-55816283696234357692012-02-29T17:44:51.477-05:002012-02-29T17:44:51.477-05:00Kim, I'm not much of a fringe person either, b...Kim, I'm not much of a fringe person either, but that really looks awesome!
