Camel and Doggie Fuzz

 

Rissa sent me some camel down and I was struck how much it resembled Jazz's downy coat. Thank you so much Rissa for sending the Camel down so I could test it out. I am not allergic to it, thank Heaven, so now I don't have to swear off Noro.

This is a trimming I did of Jazz's ear hair when he was very sick. I was afraid we were going to lose him. It's a little dirty because a dog's ears always swing into their food and water bowls! When I wash it and card it, I think it will match the camel down perfectly.

Pictures to come of the projects as soon as they are downloaded to a stick drive. DH is very kind to do that for me. So far the projects are moving along slowly but nicely. The socks are going to be so awesome that I will have to order some more of the red for myself. Too beautiful, unless it starts pooling somewhere on the foot. hehe. Gretchen is going to be gorgeous and a joy, I can tell already, and the Aran gauge patch came out perfectly. As soon as I can locate Local size 4 circs in length of 35 inches plus, I'll put the stitches on them and take off on the Drops pattern.

The only problem with my knitting is that I can't figure out how to knit a farrow rib in the round. So, it is being knit flat. I'll figure out the decreases as I go.

I'm trying a new thing on comments in that I will email answers as Jane showed me how. It will work as long as I remember to gather them all up and do it! I've been a slacker in that department. That will save commenters a trek back here to see if I've answered. General interests I will put in the blog.

Political things I'll probably feel like picking up my hammer and tongs and going after the issue with great vigor, but just won't. I don't do too much political "knitting" now. I can't let my heart be a gladiator anymore. I wickedly wish too many people bad futures, and that with a racing heart and fully fluffed feathers.
