Our New Puppy

We just brought home a new puppy who is 9 weeks old. I flew to Pittsburgh, drove an hour, picked him, drove an hour back with him and took the puppy right on the plane with me. It was a long day. But seeing all those labs in one place was unbelievable. And the puppy, Buddy, is terrific.

More Socks Finished

I know it seems like all I do is knit socks, but I had so many in process, that I have a bad case of the "finish what I started" syndrome. So I'm working backlog and there are more to go. Both of these pictures are of dark yarn, so not much detail shows. My husband is happy. Two pairs in two months...pretty good.

We Got a Cat

I love cats and the last one we had died at the vets while we were hiking in Utah. That's wierd, no?

So my son and I were buying dog food at the local Petsmart and there were a bunch of cats in small cages waiting to be adopted. I am a sucker for animals that don't have the home they deserve. And there are way too many of those and many of the cats we saw had been living in the tiny cages for months. So we asked if we could see some of them. The first one bit me. Nope, not for us. The second one nuzzled into my neck and that was that. We brought Sweetie home two days later and I can't imagine how anyone let her go. She's much friendlier and cuddlier than either of my two dogs. She sleeps with my 6 year old son and let's him do just about anything with her. Yes, everyone says dogs and cats don't mix, but Sweetie and my Cairn terrier now sleep together. Anilmals know things that we don't. Here's our brood.

Railway Socks for the Large One are Finished

My husband has a size 15 foot, which is perfectly in keeping with the rest of him. I just finished a pair of Nancy Bush socks for him and they are work of love, because they took forever. So here's a picture. He's going to have to wait an undetermined time for the next pair.

Tree on the Garage of the NEW house

Here it is. It has come up by the roots and must have softly fallen onto our brand new house.

Back to Knitting

Hurray!
We've about finished unpacking and I can go back to knitting. Last night, I finished an overall for my neighbor's new baby boy. It's so unbaby. Next, I'm getting back to my sock knitting. I have 3 to do immediately and am going to get started today.

House is Almost Finished

Here are the latest updates. We are waiting for the driveway, front walkway and grass, which is being hydroseeded right now.

Denmark Socks are Done

These are nice and thick, also a good quick knit. I'll catch up on this knit along someday.
