I put in a few hours at Granny’s this week. She is having her yearly sale and asked me to cover some hours over two days. Whenever I work for Granny, my goal is to owe her money at the end of the day. Pictured above is part of my earnings, the rest of it is intended for gift giving and wasn’t included in the photo shoot. The yarn is Fino, an alpaca/silk blend – I am on the hunt for another shawl pattern – Knitting Nature and some steel crochet hooks. Funny, even though I do not crochet, I have some strong opinions about plastic crochet hooks!
We are having a snow storm this morning. Here is a shot of my Bridget being turned into a dalmation. And now for a slide show I like to call “Dogs are Idiots, Scratch my Belly” …..

my book…
Love the wool. Enjoy the snow storm, I think we’ve had more snow here this year than we’ve had in the 13 years I’ve lived here
I’m very resentful that you LI people took all the snow. I woke up this morning, expecting a couple of inches and I got nada…
Love the cat pics. They are such make-me-happy animals. Can’t help but smile when I see mine – such antics to get attention. I just got that book as well – very well done.
If you get Knitting Nature, check out the errata pages on line before starting anything….there are lots!
What a great haul, and a great cat. She reminds me of my dog who travels around the living room to follow the sunbeams.
LOVE the slide show!
you call THAT snow?? we’ve had a couple of feet of snow.
NIC RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one big kitty! How’s the dalmation? What kind of doggie is Bridget? Really? Ah to work in a yarn shop….I would gladly pay to work there:)
Great slideshow and that is the kind of job and pay I like.
That color looks so rich! Very inviting.
