Dogs on Thursday

So, I had to go get new dog food for Miss Gracie last week and somehow I always come home with toys and treats too. This time, I got a really neat blue plush toy that makes a moo kind of sound when you squeeze the center and squeakers in the four paw parts of it.

Well, Gracie is a little freaked out by it. She barks at it, she looks at it and jumps up on us as if the plush toy might hurt her. Poor doggie, she really isn't a fearful kind of dog...

Happy Thursday people.

Knitting update:

I have been painting ornaments and other things lately. Not as much knitting as I would really like to be doing (although I might need to clone myself to make that happen).

I have 4 balls of Tahki New Tweed (LOVE IT) so I'm making mittens for my mom, and perhaps a hat? I don't know.

I finally have a rhythm going with the socks I am making for I don't know who yet.

My sonnett is on hold, I think I'm really wanting to finish the smaller gift projects first.

I gifted the blue stripey socks. I can't believe I actually finished those. I think I really liked that Austermann Steppe yarn a lot. I still have a bit of sock yarn to make into pretty things so buying anymore for a while. And, I really want to try other brands. Right now I have two pairs worth of Norwegian wool that my mom (LOVE HER) brought back from Norway for me; some gorgeous Kaffe Fasset Regia (thanks, Lisa for the recommendation).

I have cut myself off from Ravelry for a few days since it is keeping me from actually knitting. I did go to a Knitting Group on Sunday though and met some really neat folks...fun and energetic group.
