Mickey’s Going to be Upset

img_3286  Ta da! Here are my finished socks, made from the yarn that Lu sent me as part of the Knitter’s Tea Swap. Aren’t they pretty?

I love, really love, the colors in this yarn. Blues and greens, with hints of cream and taupe . . . it’s just so lovely. And exactly the kind of variations I love–not as structured as a striped yarn, but still with this nifty, horizontal hint of a stripe.

Love them.

img_3288 In other news, I imgine Mickey Mouse is quite upset tonight. Pluto has been demoted. Apparently, we only have eight planets now.

Speaking of dogs, do you know what I was doing five years ago tonight?

Sitting in a hotel room in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, nervous and jittery and excited, waiting until morning . . . when I could go pick up my puppy!

I can’t believe that five years ago tonight I was puppy-less. No little woofy in my life at all. Isn’t that just a terrible thought? For me, at least! Good lord, what would I have named this blog if it weren’t for Chappy??

  5. OOOOH, new pretty socks. I followed the link and saw your little boy when he was a baby. What a dumplin! I agree with you. Eight years ago, it was the same. No pup in my life and then in waltzed my boy. What a wonderful difference they make.

  6. Ah Deb, the socks are too cute! As are you and Chappy!

    I was quite distressed about the Pluto think myself. That’s like saying the earth isn’t round or something! Too many changes all at once!
