Secret Buddy Package

Here are the pictures of my secret buddy swap. Thank you so much secret buddy- we love it all.

Needles just arrived

Well i just purchased a set of needles from: ebay

I wish i could keep them. I will purchase another set for me when i get the chance.

These are super inexpensive and the cables are fantastic. The shipping is also very inexpensive for Air Mail.

So if someone is looking for an inexpensive set of cable needles with a very soft cable- choose these- you won't be disappointed.

Yet these are a gift i am giving them a try and i am in love with them. For the price you can't beat it. Yeah so you will have to wait 7-14 days to get them because they are coming from China but these are worth it.

What can you say- 15 needles for under 15 dollars- WOW that is a bargain.

Knit Dress Towel Topper Yellow

Well i planned on completing 2 yellow ones but i did one. I worked on UFO's yesterday getting a package ready to go.

Again, patterns will be available late July to August 2009, or sooner granted i have time to work on them.

Spring is Upon Us Knit Dress Towel Topper

Knit Dress Towel Toppers

Well i went on a mission to make some of these. I hope to have a pattern up for these late July to August 2009. I may get to them sooner granted i have enough time.

I you like these feel free to leave a comment. I will have 2 yellow dresses tomorrow. I am coordinating a kitchen around this color and yellow.

These were made with cotton worsted weight yarn and US size 8 circular needles 32", 1 ball of cotton should make them both.

These will be free patterns- so begging me for the pattern won't get them out any quicker LOL

Friday Night Out Knit Towel Topper (yes it has boobs)

Sunday in the Park Knit Towel Topper

Bodhi

As most should know this is a picture of Bodhi. If you take a good look at his nose he will have some sores on it. The poor baby has them all over his body. He is 1 1/2 years old, he is a Catahoula leopard/lab mix.

I just took him to the vet today and ran some tests. We found out that he has a bacterial skin infection. He may also have a secondary disease of ringworm or juvenile mange. We will get the test results back from those test in 2 weeks. Until that time he has to take an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and a supplement. On top of that he has to get bathed twice a week for the next 2 weeks.

So we will be hoping he doesn't need any more treatments after the next check up, but he is worth it.
