Skull Puppy

Well I have reached the colour portion of my first project using colourwork.


I have yet to attempt Fair Isle or Intarsia...until now. I just love the idea of a Skull Sweater for my little girl. And I figure it may be a good practice piece because it is smaller.
While G was reading the paper this morning, he stumbled across this article, http://www.ottawasun.com/Lifestyle/2007/01/07/3215620-sun.html. Interesting find where you least expect it.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Knitting

Yup, there has been some knitting here at the Pug Hut. See...


These are the Lace-Up Fingerless Gloves from Leigh Radford's Alterknits. I used a leftover ball of Red Heart's Super Saver in Pale Plum and some thin Chocolate Brown ribbon. Knit on US 8. I added some stitches to the forearm and knit the hand in small, but I honestly think I will just knit them in the large next time. Oh yes, there will be a nest time. I really like them, another pair in something softer and darker will be a project for later.
Right now I have started this...well, no pic, but trust me, it's just a few rows of 1x1 ribbing in TLC's # 5012 black. Here is the website. Street Legal Designs.
If the weather continues to stay this mild, I may have to think of something else to work on. The Cable Sweater from an earlier post is definately on a hiatus for now. Ah well, can't really complain, it has been rather comfortable lately. It is kinda weird to have green lawns though, after all, this is Ottawa. I guess W!nterlude* may be a dud this year.

* Big-time winter festival here in Ottawa, I'm just trying to avoid a ton of hits.

Happy New Year

As the final day of Holidays is upon us, Zoe and I have talked about our Resolutions for this coming year.

- To get more cuddles in (Z & K)


- Spend a little more time reading (K)

- To stop eating poop (Z)


- To be honest in my efforts for weight loss (K)

- To take Mommy for more walks (Z)


- To knit and actually finish some projects (K)


- To get more playtime (Z)


- To get more naps (Z)


I should probably attempt to keep a cleaner Pug Hut too. What do you think Zoe?


Happy New Year to everyone and may 2007 be even better than 2006.
