It's ages since I blogged about a WIP (Work In Progress) but it was sunny today and I managed to get my camera to work. I have two to share with you, but only one is knitting - which is the cabled cardigan/jacket I'm making for Mini Diva.
It seems to be lasting forever or I seem to be taking forever to knit it. She decided the hooded version would be best (she thinks it is for her cousin) so that has extended my suffering in this particular circle of hell. I have about 6cm of hood left to knit, then the hood border, then the sewing up, then the buttons.
I had tried the 3 shops in town that sell buttons, but not one had anything remotely suitable, so DH (because he can be a honey) took me over to Fabric8 in Felixstowe on Saturday, where Mini Diva instantly found the perfect color and size amongst their mehusive selection:
And then because it was sunny we went to the beach, where the children - unbelievably - paddled in the water, and the dog refused to go anywhere near it.
Which brings me nicely to the second WIP for today:
don't be deceived - he is as dumb as a rockI discovered over the weekend that he either is afraid of or hates water - he had a wet-spaghetti moment when I tried to get him into the shower for a seriously overdue wash; I think he has never been bathed, and his life before he came to us may have meant that he never really needed one. However, we do go to wet, muddy, smelly places, so we will have to overcome this somehow.
The other thing that we confirmed recently is one of his totally unattractive and seriously socially unacceptable habits, which gives a new meaning to this phrase; he is indiscriminate about it too - the cats' or his own, he's not fussy. On the plus side, I don't have to empty the cat litter tray out as frequently. I have read that feeding the dog bananas will stop this, but there is little discussion on how to get the bananas into the dog .....
