This Party is Over

Last night our SnB group met at my house (and I was filled to capacity). Everyone brought something yummy to eat (and it was all yummy, I might add). We did a stash/UFO tour and a gift exchange. A great time. These ladies are my kind of guests, they bring their own food, set it up, then clean up before they leave. I had next to nothing to clean up after they left. You ladies are welcomed back anytime.

As for the actual knitting content? Well, the quick 3 day dog sweater has turned into a week long project. However, I'm sure I can finish it up today. I'm on the hindquarter shaping and it's going very quickly now.

Just so I have some pictures, here's my progress right now. (have you noticed how much more obvious different dye lots are in photos than in person. Since it's a dog sweater, and for warmth purposes only for the shelter dogs at Mason County, I don't mind, but it's really not that obvious in person. Really.)



So that's my main goal for today, and it's very doable. I'll need to track down some buttons (I'm sure I have some in my stash for this) then it's back to holiday knitting. Meaning the Cable O's Vest.

I hope to have the front done on the Cable O's Vest this weekend. Then I should be able to have it finished by the end of next week (well, since I completely underestimated how long the dog sweater took to make, who actually knows how long it's going to take?).

Well, off to finish the dog sweater! Happy Knitting!!!

  1. Party was wonderful! Thank you so much. Finally catching up on blog reading and I have to say I did the same thing to my stovetop 2 years ago with a hot casserole dish coming out of the microwave. What a bummer.

  2. Whew, good to know that I'm not the only one :grin: actually, I've dropped quite a few things on my cooktop over the years. This time the glass jar was just the right weight and at the right angle. argh. No more storing heavy glass jars over it.

  3. Thanks Mary! I wish I could knit them faster so I could do more. But isn't it always that way... always wish I could do more!
