poodle times

poodle likes to play with toys...



a view of the poodle riding in car, a year ago.

Mr. Fuzzy and a few of his favourites

This photo of my
fuzzy Companion was taken in 2008
while we were at the Doris Day Hotel.
He has always enjoyed his fuzzy toys.
Here you see him with The Goose
while he rests his head on The Lamb.

under construction

very slowly -
i'm knitting a pair of socks
on 3.00 mm "glove" needles.
Lovely, small, rosewood needles.
The progress is coming
along very slowly,
since i always have several
projects on the go.
As a matter of fact, i should be working
on a book right now - and i'm procrastinating.

I digress. Jordi asked about the socks in the
earlier post.
The completed socks are Zauberball yarn.
A sturdy, German six ply, superwash wool.
This fabulous yarn was
a gift last year and knit up
to make fabulous socks.

The brown/orange/grey socks
that are still on the
needles - shown above- are also Zauberball wool.
this time a 2 ply. A looser ply than the
other Zauberball wools i have used.
There is no colourway marked on the labels.
Very long colourways. I believe it wouldn't
be possible to make both socks the same if
that was your desire.

In the meantime, i'm at a very very dark
brown section of yarn. It's almost black.
It seems that it's high time for me to buy
some "task lighting" so that i can see what
i'm doing. As it is, i'm struggling to see my stitches.
Not good.

the pink socks

these socks were a labour of love to knit.
they're superwash wool and
so comfortable to wear. However, the
yarn was extremely perfumey to knit with.
Overly sweet, like strawberry perfume.
Perfume, but not in a good way. The
outcome was marvellous - no lingering
strawberry smell and the cables are
so comfortable.
