So today was insane. This morning started well, I got up early did some chores and walked the dog and left the house. I had to get some final things for canning and some old wool sweaters for the latest craft obsession! I bought a pattern at Canvas Works (my local and wonderful yarn store) for felted wool dogs. I don't know why and I don't know for whom, but it was an obsession. So I set out to three different thrift shops until I found the perfect women's Pendleton sweater made out of 100% virgin wool. It was a beautiful cardigan and I felt a little bad, but this was my new obsession!
I came home and totally not thinking straight, I set to canning my blackberries and blueberries, felting the wool and keeping Ulysses entertained all within two hours (I had to get Justin's lunch together by 2pm)! It was nuts because the dog got under the fence again so I had to rescue him from a German Shepherd biting him, a Rottweiler barking in his ear and a five-year old running around and hanging on my arm! But guess what- I got it done and the kitchen cleaned!! We have 8 jars of blackberry jam and 9 of the blueberry.
Once Justin left for work, I got the felt dog made and kept Ulysses entertained!! I need to sew on the hind legs again, but today I can't even think about the stupid project. I'll fix it up tomorrow and give it to the neighbor girl. Knitting is definitely the only hobby I need!

This lil wool dog is so cute!
I'm so glad u tried this, I see these crazy cool knitted creatures/animals etc at local art galleries here in L.A. One was super cute,an upsidedown monkey with a long tail holding it up,with a glass POM bottle built into it's belly, enclosing an awesome succulent garden cluster.
"my description of it isn't Nearly as good as it actually is in real life." Mk and I were gonna buy it for u guys last Xmas but it was $200. Well worth it for someone that can throw that type of money around. Which we can't :)
Your knitting makes me happy, I love the things u Make!
Thank you for the compliment about the dog. I'm not as happy with it, but it was a good experiment. That monkey/succulent sounds rad, but I think it's too much money for a home accessory. You guys were wise to pass on it. Things in our home age really fast with all the animals! Thanks for the knitting encouragement. The felt will have to take a break!
