Trooper the Graduate

Hi ho!

Remember my little buddy Trooper? Well I am proud to say that he graduated puppy school last week. His mom told me that he has learned to sit, shake, stay, and play fetch; and he's like only four or five months old!

Next he will be pursuing his Masters in Science. More specifically he is studying the Chaos Theory as it relates to the time evolution of the magnetic field of celestial bodies.

Congratulations Troop on your graduation. Don't forget us little pooches when the Nobel Peace Prize in Physics.

Boomer's Mom Checking In

Hello!

Boomer is outside barking at a squirrel, or maybe it's a mocking bird, or perhaps a sparrow... I really think that he has no clue as to what he's barking at but he's happy and Annie and Snickers seem quite amused with Boomers show so who am I to say anything.

I have been knitting away. I'm almost done with my sweater - yippee! I have to finish the neckline and sleeves and that's it. I'm very excited to see how it all turns out and I will definitely post pictures.

I did take a small break from knitting on the sweater because I got tired of working with the same beige color for so long. Here's what I worked on...

The pattern for these fingerless gloves is called "Fetching" and you can find it here. I really like the way they turned out, though I think I'm going to make them a little longer next time. Here's another view:

The only changes I made to the pattern is that I did two rows of stockingnette stitch at the beginning which makes the little curl. At the end there is a fancier bind-off but I like the basic bind off better.

Because these were so much fun to make I figure I'll make a few more pairs as Christmas gifts. Here's a picture of the yarns I picked up at a great local yarn shop called Unraveled in Monrovia, CA. If you live in the area you should go check it out. The staff is wonderful and they have a good selection of yarns to choose from.

The denim blue and lavender are from Plymouth yarns and the Berroco yarn is for ME! HAHAHA!!! It's a GORGEOUS yarn and you can't really tell in the picture but it's a beautiful verigated gold yarn - it should work up nicely.

Well I think Boomer is done barking so I better go let him inside. Annie gave up looking for what he was barking at a long time ago and is now sleeping on her red chair. I think Snickers is still outside, probably eating a piece of poop.

See you later!!!!
