We got....a dog.

| This is her over a week after we got her. Her leash is being held by the Boy, who she doesn't yet trust. |
On to projects!
I was once again, project monogamous, but I did manage to finish them! I've been working on a test knit of Ladders to the Sky socks. It's the first time I've done a test knit and it was a lot of fun. I made the legs shorter than the pattern called for because I was worried about time. I finished them this morning, which is a week late for the project deadline. There was enough information from what I'd done that I was able to fill out the survey. Every time I thought I'd be able to get them done, something came up between the dog, the bonus kids and the universe. But now those are done.
Of course, my other projects aren't really travel suitable, so I need to finish something else up this week so I can cast on something new. It's not actually realistic but a girl can dream, right?
Lovely test knit finish, pretty colour and pattern.

ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've seen a Papillon before. Your dog has a majectic stance, so show dog worthy. It's coat is beautiful and almost looks like an elegant, royal fox.
ReplyDeleteThe green of these cool socks is terrific. I like how the stitch pattern is defined and refined. Great job.
She's got longer legs than most Papillons. A friend of mine has one that is twice her size (in weight and height) but he's kind of a freak.
DeleteThank you for the compliment on the socks. It was a fun colourway and a really awesome pattern. I want to make a pair for myself now!
Those socks are really gorgeous, but of course I told you already in the Rav forum :)
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out great with the cute dog :)
It certainly seems like it's going to work out with her. She's definitely my dog, without a doubt. Of course, I'm the cat person in the family and everyone else is a dog person, so of course she would want to win me over. She has started to think that yarn might be a fun toy though, which is something I've (hopefully) put an end to.
DeleteWhat a sweet dog, but I hope she leaves your yarn alone! I know my puppy will eat anything that's left out. And the socks look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you on all counts! She is definitely a good vacuum cleaner and apparently has a thing for socks or at least dirty socks. Thankfully she listens to me when I tell her to leave something alone.
