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...

it definitely sounds like someone wants you to knit them a dog. Talk about funny. Happy pooch knitting.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...
