In my last post, I compared my poncho to Doritos and to Cheezwhiz. This gigantic, fuzzy garter stitch project is like junk food in many ways. It is shamefully easy and almost beneath me.
This is not to say that this project offers no challenges. I submit to you the following:
Two giant, fuzzy things in my lap. Knitting with a Pug in your lap may be a good thing to do if you are suffering from hypothermia. You would definitely want her with you if you were stuck in a snowdrift or marooned on an ice flow. Her girth combined with her panting is better than chicken soup for alleviating inner chills.
Here on Long Island we are in the grip of the Dog Days of Summer. It is hazy, hot & humid.
How can I look at that face and tell her no? Those of you who have met my pug will attest that she simply would ignore me anyway.
Lucy the Pug has taken a shine to my poncho.

I sense a business opportunity in the making. Pugponchos, the latest in doggie attire.
Your pug is so cute! My puppy (he’ll always be a puppy to me!) is half-pug, half-pekingese. He looks like a pug with long orange hair.
She looks happy that you’re letting her knit with you!
The downfall with pug ponchos is that they drag on the ground (the poncho, not the pug — unless the pug has been lapping at the ice wine again…). I think the pug would trip over the poncho too, unless there was some inventive pug ponch tieback system in place, sorta like when they tie back a cocker’s ears when it eats. And, if said poncho packing pug had her butt towards a stiff wind, said ponco would look like a vet funnel ;-)
