May 4 is Annabel’s Gotcha Day! Four years of companionship! She’s quite different from her early days with me. It took some time to get her trust, and I had moments when I thought things wouldn’t work out, but here we are. Sweater muse and funny companion. She’s wearing a sweater designed and knit by me, in Brooklyn Tweed Tones (sadly discontinued) in 1999 stripes that matches a sweater in my wardrobe.

May the Fourth be with you.  My first dog, Yoda.  I don’t have many photos of her, sadly.

Some weekend personal knitting. This is a kit for Awilda by , purchased from , as a birthday gift. Oh my goodness this yarn. It’s fantastic. I’m past all the color work. I went rogue with the neckband and picked up the stitches. Just randomly a tutorial for a welt showed up on my feed, so here it is. FYI, just randomly again, an excellent tutorial on welted neckbands from You Tube channel appeared in my feed after I had bound off this neckband. I think there will be more welts in my future.

Getting to work on a pattern rewrite. I started working on this book in 2006. I have progressed as a knitter and hopefully, a writer. Doggie Knits has been out of print since 2016, so I’m hoping that the improved patterns will find a new audience. I’m in need of a tech editor, so if my followers know anyone, please reach out.

Spotted at in Dachund Daddy Knits booth display. Appears to be the Piccolo sweater that was published in my now out of print book, Doggie Knits. The sweater has a lovely story attached. A customer knit the sweater for her dog, and gifted it to Andrew, the business owner, after the dog’s passing 😢💔. I love this story. Dog sweaters have history, and a Dachund’s memory lives on in this sweater.
