Just got word from (and photos courtesy of) Caroline Owens of Owens Farm that, despite the extreme cold followed by driving rain followed by howling winds, Petunia yielded about 4.5 lbs after skirting. I've decided to once again let the mill turn the fleece into yarn for me, and I hope to have some worsted weight yarn on its way soon.
Poor Petunia, there's still quite a bit of winter left to go!
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the bulky weight yarn I've still got from Princess. I think this Viviana Crocheted Vest pattern would be an awesome use for it! But, first, I've got to get started on, and finish, a baby blanket that I've been wanting to make from Melissa Leapman's "Flowers in a Row" afghan pattern, available on the Red Heart website.
Mama update: She's doing better, though a bit of a set back when she ended up getting dehydrated, which seemed to lead to too low blood pressure, so off to the emergency room we went. But, hopefully, she will be back in rehab early next week and back on the right track!
