Candy Corn Inspired Yarn

 

 

 



Maureen says:

"That will be my inspiration for this hank of yarn.  I am going to attempt to add beads.  My intentions are good but I have never used beads before so you may never see the final product!"

 



 

Yes, we did see the final product! 

Maureen says,



"It went better than I thought.  I added a bead about every 12 inches even though I saw someone suggest one every arm's length.  I don't think every 12 inches was often enough though.  It was a success in that I was able to add the beads with minimal effort."

Happy Birthday, Jovonna's Kids

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jovonna holds the record of winning four all breed Best In Show out of four shows in one weekend.
Not long after that, she retired from shows to become a mother.   On August 10, 2016, she gave birth to her litter and here are her kids: tort doe Jada, white doe Jania, tort buck Jonas and white buck Jovas.  Each and every of the kids won BOB and becomes Grand Champion.   Today is their one-year-old birthday; Happy Birthday to Jada, Jania, Jonas and Jovas.
 

 

Jada has the most BOB win and a few of the specialty BIS and all breed RIS.

 



Jania has comparable winnings to her sister, only one leg less.

Jonas is the biggest baby in the litter, and he started his winning when he was just a young junior.  He also has won over his sisters in two of the shows and received BOB.



Jovas has a specialty BIS, that's very unusual for a boy.   He is very handsome and sure deserves the win.

Show C Angora Judging at Monterey

 

 

 

Show C judge for Angora breeds is Doug.  Doug is an old hand on judging Angora and there isn't any apprentice working for their judge's or registrar's license that day, things move a lot faster.

 

 

 Judge Doug checks the underside of a white English Angora.

 

Judge Doug now works on the colored English Angora.
 

Judge Doug comments and Corinne records his placements.

The English Angora colored senior doe is really dense!  Needless to say that she wins the BOB.

 

 

Now it's the Satin Angora on the table.
 

Casey writes for judge Doug.

 

Judge Doug compares two Satin Angora and the senior doe gets the BOB.
