Lazy Sunday

Football has finally started again! Today was Hall of Fame weekend preseason game. Unfortunately, since I don't have cable, I couldn't watch it. Still, in honor of the unofficial start of the season, Football-Along kicked off with a charity knitting project. The project chosen is to knit mini sweaters in our chosen team's colors to donate to Cubs for Kids. As luck would have it, I didn't have any Dallas Cowboys colors, nor any Colts colors in my stash. I did have some orange and white. Though we aren't really Vols fans, it is Peyton Manning's Alma mater, so that's what I went with. Here is what I've got done so far.



Since I couldn't get the game, I watched a disc of The Complete History of The Dallas Cowboys. Ahhh, the memories.

I finished the August Monthly Dishcloth, as well.

I got real irritated with this yarn. I was knitting along happily when I came to a knot in the skein. Not a knot where the yarn got looped around itself and I could pick it out and everything would be ok. No, it was a knot where two pieces of yarn were joined. That is not supposed to happen. Bought yarn is not supposed to have knots in it. There was nothing I could do but cut the yarn and make a join, leaving a rather unsightly lump where it should have smooth sailing.

This afternoon, I had to take the dogs out for a walk, so I grabbed my camera and Kinneared Cody on the way out the door.

Once outside, I Kinneared Rylea

And Katie. I thought they turned out pretty well.

I didn't Kinnear these two, but I did endure 4,768 gnat and mosquito bites to get just the right pictures. Were they worth it?

I'd say yes.

I only missed one question. Considering it's been 30 years since I was in 8th grade, I think that's pretty good.

Weatherwise, it gets even worse:

But Rylea has already figured out how to keep cool.

Smart puppy.

The best news of the day is that Slider finally ate! He ate a mouse. It was his first meal since January. I'm so happy. Now I just need to work him and Monty back onto rats.
