Finished my angora-blend roving tonight!  Well, I finished spinning the singles anyway.  I am now plying, onto one of the two Akerworks bobbins I bought last year.

I bought two of these - one purple, one orange, in different "spoke" patterns.  They have a smaller core, so I should be able to fit quite a bit onto it.  I have three bobbins - one from each bag of roving.  I used my ball winder to wind the second one into a center-pull ball.  I'm starting my two-ply with the first and third bobbins, and will finish off with the second one, ending by plying the inside and the outside of the center-pull ball together.

No baby goats from our girls yet.  I'm hoping they are just waiting until school gets out (end of next week) to make it easier on me!  I can't wait for our new boy to come home, though!

Speaking of boys, our grandson is getting very busy lately.  Tomorrow I have to pick up doorknob covers; he can now open doors for himself, so I need at least 3 doorknob covers - one for the cellar door, one for the bathroom door, and one for the main entry door.  Yesterday I also built a "safe corner" for my spinning wheels with two metal baby gates, along with some string, velcro, and duct tape.

Should keep my wheels safe, and keep me from yelling at him for touching them!  One of his balls is currently trapped behind the gates.  (The spinning wheel is in use, as he is visiting with his mom overnight.)

And this is a picture I took yesterday in Manchester - a nice pattern on the side of a building!  This would be a lovely quilt idea.
