Lookie!


Look what I got the other day! Got a coupon from the LYS and decided to spend it on this...really want to do the hourglass sweater...but fof some reason I also have a weird affinity for the knitted animals...

The little draw-string sacks are cute too...

Georgia Weekend

And check out the socks my mom sent me--just waiting till I got home! Pink & green Lorna's Laces in "knit happens"...

Ok, not the best picture...but we had a good weekend in Georgia! There were 40 greyhounds there for the event--so exciting! Evie did spectacularly I think--she got a 5th place on Saturday & a 3rd place on Sunday. She ran against dogs that were 2-3yrs old & she's 5.5yrs...so nice & consistent!

Sir Mark Prescott travelled all the way from England...and I've learned why the stories about Evie keep exaggerating! She'll soon be a legend in her own mind.

Oliver did wonderfully as well. I honestly was a bit worried about running him b/c his toe seemed a bit fat, but he did well on Saturday. He had 20 other open dogs for competition and came in around 6th...he didn't run on Sunday. BUT, for the conformation match, my "professional" show handler, Bridget, did wonders and he got 4th!!!! Ollie the show dog!

Overall a first class event...nice people, great food, etc. We'd definately go back. The only thing that sucked was the fact that I came home with a nasty cold~

The Mysteries of Ollie...


Ollie spends most of his time asleep upside-down on the sofa like this...

There aren't really any words that can describe how nutty the kid is...

And feeling like I've neglected the cats for awhile, I have decided to make them each a kitty pi. I have some leftover cascade 220, peace fleece & rowan big wool that should turn into nice pi[s]. More on that later.

Ollie's a nut...

Pilfered Koigu!

AHHAHAH!

I'm trying to decide if the penalty for a friend shipping her *beautiful* order of koigu to my house is to have it pilfered by me?!?!?!

8 lovely skeins of KPPM--4 in blues and 4 in pinks...very very tempting!

Sock Starting to Rock?


So, Bridget & I went to Tricoter the other day and they just got a brand spankin' new shipment of STR in that hadn't even been opened yet! How cool were the ladies there who let us pilfer the box and pick out some colors!!!!

Anyway, I picked "Farmhouse" and let it settle for awhile before starting Pretty Petals by Jean Townsend...

Not too bad so far!
