I have a feeling that my obsessive tendency is going to be directed at socks for awhile. This landed in my mailbox yesterday:
After months of waiting, I can finally say it was worth the wait. I devoured the book yesterday and cast on this morning:
It was tough to decide which pattern to knit. I have a feeling this book will be dog-eared in record time.
I received a couple of questions about how many stitches I cast on for A Scarf With No Name. Since I record everything about every object that I knit, I consulted my handy dandy knitting notebook. However, I didn’t find the cast on number, I found this:
Yes, that says “metric assload”. I didn’t even try to count the stitches. What I do remember is that I used a 46″ circular needle and the long tail cast on and cast on until the needle was full.
Samantha’s love affair with the pink bunny continues:
The poor bunny is soggy, missing most of the stuffing and one ear is partially chewed off. It was well worth the $2.
I realize that I am extremely biased, but I think Kishka is one of the most gorgeous mutts I’ve ever seen. I love to take pictures of her.
Runs With Needles 
Kishka is not cute like Abner, Kishka is beautiful, gorgeous, and stunning. And I’m not biased.
Samantha is pretty darned cute though, she’s pretty too, but she has a definite cuteness to her.
And dang! I didn’t even know about that book!
How can it be that your pictures of your dogs get better and cutter? I had to laugh because of “metric assload” that’s such a good sts count! ;o)
I MUST resist to buy this sock book, but everybody is tuting its horn!
“Metric Assload”, huh? Funny, I couldn’t find that one in any of my knitting glossaries. LOL! ;-Þ
I’m drooling over your Sensational Knitted Socks book. It’s on my wish list.
You’re right, Krishka IS a very beautiful dog. Knitting, doggies, and new knitting terms; what more could one want in a blog? 😉
Can’t wait to see what you knit from it!
I so enjoy the pictures of the dogs!
Kishka has such a wonderful personality that really comes out in your pictures it always makes me ponder, “What is she thinking today?”
All the other animals are adorable too but I think Kishka is my favorite. 🙂
I was scrolling through the wordpress ‘socks’ tag and just have to say how gorgeous your dogs are. They make me wish I didn’t live in a big city.
Have fun with the sock book!
You’re right, Kishka is very beautiful. I like her little eartip – it adds to her charm.
