It's Boomer's Mom

Hi there,

Boomer is sleeping right now so I thought I would sneak in and post some pictures of the sweater I'm working on.

This is the back of the sweater. I'm currently working on the sleeves so I still have a ways to go, but I should be done with this part by the weekend. You can't tell from the pictures but there are little flecks of color worked into the yarn which gives it some depth.


Here's a close-up with the sleeves. I will be increasing every 6th row for the next 36 rows to create the sleeves. This is a very simple to follow pattern which is nice since this is my first sweater. I downloaded the pattern from Vogue Knitting. The site is currently under construction but you can still look at some of the cover designs and download those patterns.


Here is Turbo kitty with all his toys. He's all better now - he has gained back his weight and his fur looks nice and shiny again. We are all very thankful that Turbo is okay (yes, even the dogs!).


I also want to apologize for not visiting everyone's blogs lately. I have been really busy at work and sick as well so I'm quite tired when I get home and don't want to spend much time on the computer. I hope you all understand.

I have also noticed that Boom's blog hasn't had many comments lately. I hope that you are still enjoying it. If you have any suggestions for improvements please let me know.

Finally, I want to thank Jason with the Fleas Gang for figuring out the code for my American Brittany Rescue button on the left side of the page. I tried and tried but I couldn't get it to work and then Jason came to the rescue.

Blessings,
Carol

It's Cool Mom, It's Cool...


Boomer: Hey mom, what's the haps?

Mom: Not much Moomer-Noomers.

Boomer: Say, what happened to your knitting blog?

Mom: Oh Boomer, between your blog, work, and home stuff I didn't have time to update it so I just stopped updating it.

Boomer: A total pain in the a$$?

Mom: MOOMERS, where did you ever hear that?

Boomer: Well mom, you do swear like a sailor.

Mom: Yah but... oh okay, I should wash my mouth out with soap from time to time.

Boomer: Try every day mom.

Mom: Okay Moo's, I get it.

Boomer: Getting back to what I was going to talk to you about - I feel kind of bad that you stopped your other blog so I was thinking that I would share my blog with you.

Mom: You really mean that Boomer? That really would mean a lot to me.

Boomer: Sure, but you have to promise not to hog my blog up with all your knitting stuff. That's just not macho and you know I'm a macho dog.

Mom: I understand, you have a reputation to keep.

Boomer: Yes, yes I do.
