Oh he’s so cute! Well, he looks a lot like Scout, who recently turned 5 (Rocky is 13 in May).

Scout’s ears were getting pretty matted so I had to trim them. My husband loves them long so he has the job of combing them, and her tail, every day. So far so good.

I love them! I already posted 8 photos and missed the ESCs. I posted the ES Goose I made though.

Oh my! They are so cute. My Grrls hate clothes.

OMG we have a Shorkie too! Meet Scout, Princess Warrior.

I can’t use short circulars. I heard, but haven’t tried, just using two regular circular needles. I’m trying to learn brioche on a headband pattern and it’s just a little too short for the 14” circular needles. Fortunately, I have two sets 😊

I’m really comfortable with DPNs but with all the YOs…

Rocky doesn’t like roll over either. I always wonder if these are breed things or their own “preferences”.

Then I would either put it aside until you’re comfortable with the fingering weight and small needles or plunge yourself in. If you take the plunge you might want to have something else easy peasy to knit if you get overwhelmed or need a break.

Rainbow? 🌈 Heart be still ❤️ I love rainbow anything.

This morning instead of learning brioche I was leafing & reading Patty Lyon’s book Knitting Bag of Tricks (highly recommend for new & old knitters). She would say “did you wash the swatch?” If you didn’t you should. And make sure it’s off the needles. Read about swatches, which I wasn’t doing right.

The Cats Meow blanket in grey. The blanket has 16 cat motifs with a lace background.

I, with a lot of experience, just finished a DK weight, queen size, lace stitch blanket. Pattern was full of errors. It was a nightmare!

Could you knit it with DK or worsted on larger needles? It would be bigger but you might manage better. If you do get some advice on how much yarn to get.

“Together” stranded pullover in red, black, white, and grey.

Beautiful! Two will seem easy from now on. I did this one that has four colours on some rounds. I like to think of that when the going gets tough. I hadn’t knitted stranded for 20 years when I got the crazy idea to knit this one. It was worth it.

Your Grrl is really sweet ❤️

I taught my Mini Schnauzer x Boston Terrier to bow in about 5 seconds. It must be something they do. She “dances” (spins up on her back feet) and then takes a bow. She turns 13 in May.

Red and white maple leaf toque and cowl

Red maple leaf shawl. The lace looks like maple leaves. Sorry no close up.

Heart of the Dragon scarf in bright green.

Oops! The red scarf is the Maple Leaf scarf not Heart of the Dragon. This is Heart of the Dragon and it’s not red but it has hearts 💚

“Together” stranded pullover in red, black, white, & grey.

Brison Beanie (toque with dog paws) in red and white with orange and yellow.

“Heart of the Dragon” shawl in red.

Red is a favourite colour of mine so it’s m ready for #showmeyourknits on this Valentine’s Day 🧶

It is nice despite the frustration. Well worth it.

I got the pattern. I’m going to donate simple “learner” pattern first (headband for a friend).

The Cats Meow blanket in charcoal Recycled Acrylic yarn. Fine on Ravelry if you dare.

Done for #FinishOffFriday the blanket from Hell. It turned out fine but there were at least 4 errors in the pattern, I messed up several times all by myself & it took almost 4 months to knit. Started on Oct 24th & ironically finished on Friday the 13th of Feb 🧶

For my daughter. Info in alt text.

I know people would would love that dice bag. I’m finishing the Blanket from Hell today and learning brioche is my next project.

Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day with no dropped stitches.

Pattern? It’s lovely and just what I want to make for myself.

OMG I’m so sorry! Stay strong. This too shall pass. I will pray for you.

Some people might not understand how this feels but I do. I’ve been there. I find knitting helps me listen to the speaker.

Just bought it. Thanks.

🤣

Exactly what I was going to say.

Clever of them to have some of the team looking back so they can wave a quick goodbye!

I agree! I was going to ask why Elon changed his name. Now I must go knit!
