So here we go… I finished up a pair of basic socks with some yarn I dyed a while ago. These have been hanging on for ages and ages, since I just worked on them a minute here and there. The eternal car sock project.

Well… that feels good.

Also I’ve completed a few dishcloths. I have more to go on those as I need a stack for the house, but this put a little dent in it.

Finally have you seen lavender mashed potatoes?

We got the potatoes from the CSA – they are the blue or purple variety and they make lovely lavender mashed potatoes. They taste like the regular ones.

Ok… back to my hat knitting for Mom. Hope to have that one finished up before long as well.

Coco’s Big Day

With Coco just reaching the 6 month mark, it was time to have her little surgery done. Poor thing had the works actually. She needed all her baby canines pulled out (the roots on the teeth amazed the doctor), then flushed her eye ducts since they were closed and finally she was spayed. Whew lots of work for a 6 lb 6 ounce dog.

This is how she looked as soon as she came home.

Poor thing – she’s already feeling much better though.

Since she would barely let me up, without trying to follow me around the house, I stayed put and knitted a quick and easy dishcloth.
