Lavender Strathcona and dog fun

It was such a wonderful day yesterday, so sunny and warm.

A perfect time to play with the dogs.

Who will get to it first and who will bring it back is always a toss up.

 

Sometimes, negociations will happen out on the field and everyone waits for a decision to be made so that the game can continue.



Thing is, they easily outlast me when we play like this...they could go on all day!

 

On the knitting front.  

The Strathcona scarf is all done. The lace pattern really makes it a fast knit.

Half way thru, by simply switching the order of the lace pattern, a point is created.

 Cute little feature that can be worn front or back.

 

It's a light and airy scarf, perfect for end-of-winter weather.
 

 



Pattern: Strathcona

Needles: 4.5mm

Yarn: Lonely Oak Alpaca (from Aurelia) hand dyed in lavender

 

This is the second item knitted from the Island e-book.

I plan on casting on the Rathtrevor mitts next.

Words

What words to describe these two?

 

Sweet?

 (This is Lexus)

 

Innocent?

 (This is Penny)

 

Adorable?

 

Cute?

 

 

Well, those are not the words I'm using now that I've seen what they are capable of.

 

In the half hour that we took for our dinner last night, they had the audacity to grab fiber that I had worked on all day to dye and were ready to list in my shop and do their thing with it.

 

 

The yellow top was too much of a mess for the camera.

 

What were they thinking?

I guess this will be mine to spin some day when I can find this funny!!

 

No, seriously, I'm over it now. They are full of energy, curiosity and they need to learn some manners...but we'll get there.
