You know what's fun?
Fun is a baby-sized garter stitch project (Ravelry link) out of colorful wool worsted. This is for the co-worker who had a baby last August. I am making the sweater coat to fit little Kaitlyn next fall/winter/spring. ::fingers crossed:: Since that is such a l-o-n-g season here in the Great Frozen North, I have a fair amount of leeway in the sizing.
After I finished those socks last week I whipped out another preemie hat. These things are like potato chips. I hope to have a whole stash of them by next January.
Yarn: Plymouth Encore Colorspun, a pink/red/pink/mauve/pink/orange color, aka #7515 (catchy name, huh?), with a couple rows of Lion Brand Wool-Ease in dark red at the edge.
Pattern: Chell's preemie hat, 56 st.
Needles: KnitPicks Options US#5.

Senior dog Bear's mobility continues to improve, due to regular 2x/daily ingestion of chondritin glucosamine and Rimadyl. Here she is going down the deck stairs ALL BY HERSELF. It is the first time she has done that since December, at least.
Here she is looking perky and alert while waiting for someone to open the door and let her in.
She is pretty sure that it is her intent stare that causes the door to open.
