SESAME
|
Twenty thousand years ago, an ancestor of mine (and probably yours, too) twisted the fibrous remains of a rotten plant together and created the first spun thread - and look where it's gotten us today!! Back then, the first item created was meant to enhance our ability to procreate, by advertising our readiness and attracting a suitable suitor - my, things haven't changed that much. As you can probably tell, I am a bona fide, certifiable, self-confessed, totally unrepentant FIBRE-HOLIC. As many of us do, I had gathered a stash which threatened to crowd us out of our home, so I opened a shop. When I couldn't find enough interesting yarn for the shop, I learned to spin and found fibres, when the fibres couldn't completely feed my habit, I got the Angora rabbits which are a constant source of pleasure. I breed my does 3 times a year and all the babies are hand-raised to be friendly, communicative, spoiled house rabbits. THERE ARE ALWAYS A COUPLE OF BABIES AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. Please feel free to contact me at info@knit-knackers.com if you would like any rabbit information. They make wonderful, renewable fibre pets but require a considerable commitment. I am always available for advise on care, medical concerns, habits, shearing/plucking, etc. Please note that any rabbit purchase must be picked up in Ottawa, I will not ship them.

At home, I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, so I've got a drop spindle on the desk. One spinning wheel is in my knitting room and the rabbits like to climb on the treadle and catch the wheel, the other spinning wheel is at the shop, along with a couple of half-filled drop spindles which I use to tempt fibre-holics-in-training. Any quiet moment not filled with moving fingers is relegated in history as a missed opportunity (to create, to attract, to enhance, to teach...). Throughout time, we have lost so much of the knowledge of our ancestors, yet this creativitity has persisted virtually without change, we can't afford to lose it now.
