My Babies

The other night Ben asked me how many puppy pictures do I really need.  Really?  A million!  My babies are so cute!!  They won't be around forever and I want to remember every little moment of adorable.

In no particular order:
Ok, so Riley wasn't thrilled to be on that motorcycle, but he wasn't up there more than a few seconds.
 He has so many expressions, i just want to capture them all.  (Riley is a pug chihuahua mix, in case you were wondering)
 Angry Face.  He makes angry face at any attempt to put clothing on him.  It's pretty cute but we always end up feeling sorry for him and taking it back off.  In this one he has on a halloween t-shirt.
 As I was moving furniture he decided to camp out in a drawer.  I too half a dozen pictures of him doing that because it was just too cute.
 Little Ripley the day we brought him home.  So many memories of that time.  He was so shy and I felt so sorry for him. (both puppies are humane society rescues)  He was so skinny too.  Riley just wanted to play with him and Ripley didn't really know what to do.  I spent a lot of time cuddling him that week, just trying to convince him that he was in a safe place and would be loved.  (I was also really sick and running a very high fever.  Timing.)
 Ripley in his natural habitat.  He sleeps so much more than Riley does.  I'm not sure how one can sleep that much.
 He does love to lay in the dirt too.  In this one you can tell that he gained a little weight and his little personality has started to show through the shyness.
Since I posted one of the day we brought Ripley home, I thought I would post a baby picture of Riley too.  He only weighed 4 pounds when I brought him home and he could lay down on my forearm.  They told me he wouldn't get much bigger, but now he's 14 pounds.  Hmm.  Oh well, he's still cute!

I love my babies so much, I could never have too many pictures of them!!  I hope I haven't bored you with excessive puppy pictures. (I will call them puppies even when they are old)  A lot of times my favorite pictures on other people's blogs are when they show their fur-babies.

Have a Happy Tuesday!

Briana, I love looking at the pictures of your fuzzies! We can't have cats because I am allergic, but I think they are beautiful (from a safe distance).

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

The Illy Cowl & Pattern

I was inspired by the fabulous Ilene of Much Love, Illy and her love for mustard colored accent pieces, so when she very patiently dealt with my first blog advertising endeavor, I decided to send her a little something.  I had some designs floating around in my head, but this one spoke to me as really being her style, so the Illy Cowl was born.  (picture stolen from Ilene, with her permission of course)  Here's a couple close-ups.  It's an easy, fairly open lace-work pattern that looks far more complicated than it actually is.  It's also lightweight and comfortable on.    I played around and took some pics before I mailed it off.  Last week I worked on a purple version, which I inadvertently made wider than the original.  (Nothing like screwing up your own pattern, huh?)  I forgot that I only put one repeat of garter rows between the lace repeats, oh well.  The mix up caused me to run out of yarn in the middle of THE VERY LAST ROW.  Sooooo frustrating!  And it was during

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up.  My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov
