Ice Queen

It is finished!

It was actually finished a couple of days ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting the photo. I'll get around to blocking it eventually. 

And look! A blankie sighting!


It has been so nice and cool here these last two days that the blankie just needed to be knit. And hot chocolate needed to be drank. Drunk. Drinked. Whatever...

Well, I'm missing my little Jesse-Boo.  I dropped him off yesterday afternoon to get neutered.  And I felt that same slight melancholy that I do every time I get one of the girl dogs spayed.  Jesse is -- oddly enough-- only the second male dog I've had in the last 20 years.  (Not counting the two puppies who died of parvo long before they were old enough to worry about neutering them.)  I had my big Chessie Dakota, but I didn't get him neutered.  I'd planned on eventually breeding him, him being a pure breed and registered at that.  But I never got to the point I felt I could get that going, so I didn't. 

Anyway, I called to check on Jesse, and they said he's doing fine, and will be able to come home tomorrow.  I've only had him 3 weeks, but suddenly the house seems empty without him.  I've come to love that little fuzzball. 

That's about it for today.  I stayed up too late last night finishing a book on my Kindle, and my eyes are already drooping.  So, I think I'll head on to bed now, and ...um... start another book. 

Yeah.

A friend of mine just gave me socks that she knitted - they are amazing. Knitters are just so awesome.

Oh nevermind...you said "last 20 yrs"...I'm still trying to forget that it's been 25 yrs since we graduated HSU...

Lou, once you've worn hand knit socks, store bought socks just won't do any more!
