Lilia's Mitts

My friend Tonantzin commissioned these fingerless mitts as a Christmas gift for her mother Lilia.
The fiber is 100% angora that I spun from my bunny Midnight.
I'm thrilled with the look of the gloves and they are unbelievably soft.

Bunny Puppets

They are not really Bunny puppets but I made these fingerless gloves out of some handspun angora fiber that came from a bunny I had loooong ago. They are so much like an actual bunny that I named them Bunny Puppets. Would you like the pattern? I swear I will NEVER spin 100% angora again...or at least never until I forgot I said that...I will be carding it with wool in the future. Why? Because I don't like fluff flying up into my nose and a knitted garment that is so fuzzy it looks like a rabbit pelt. But for now I do really like these silly gloves.

Riley believes in reading to her bunnies!




I bought two beautiful angora bunnies back in January from a nice lady up in Oregon. We picked them up on a trip to drive Jillian home for her final semester at college (yes if you've paid attention she is now living back down here). The white bunny is named Snowball and the black one is Midnight, Riley named them. They are very sweet and like to bounce around our house a bit. I haven't gathered that much fluff from them yet but here are pictures of Riley & and w/ Midnight.
