A Heavy Hint...

Back in 2011 a knitting book was published by two women named Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne.
The title of the book is Knit Your Own Dog, Easy-to-Follow Patterns for 25 Pedigree Pooches...

Since I obviously have a love for not only my dogs but all four legged furries a friend gave me the book. It has some very cute, very breed correct patterns. I put it on my coffee table and from time to time would glance thru it... #1

I believe it was later in 2011 when my mom sent me a package... Mom is great at sending packages.
As I ripped open the envelope I discovered that she had found the Knit Your Own Dog book and shipped it to me. #2

This Christmas my mom's dearest friend and a man I adore sent both Mom and I a gift in Scottsdale...
You guessed it... #3

I think the message is pretty clear.
I'm going to have to knit someone a dog.
I have 25 to choose from.
Apparently they are easy or so the title says...

They are all dogs you find in the show ring at the Westminster Dog Show...

25 breeds ranging from the Hounds to the Working dogs, Terriers, Sporting and Non-Sporting...

There isn't a Boxer in the lot... (they are part of the Working dog group in case you were curious, althought mine haven't worked a day since they moved in here)

Oh well... Guess I'll have to pick a different dog.

Don, I wouldn't be surprised if  a Jack showed up at your house sometime this year...

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
