Louis the Pug has his first handknit sweater! It is a little bit too large for him at the moment, but I wanted a sweater that would fit him when he finished growing. He looks a little like a Lightning bug or a wooly glow worm, but he is adorable in it.
I have added a couple of pictures of finished projects I have done over the last couple of months. There are more finished items to post, but I have to take "after" pictures of them. One of the most exciting things I have knit lately has been the Starlight Shawl. The knitting part is finished, all it needs is its fringe added.
Time is flying by super fast. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is just a little over 2 weeks away. I have decided that I am NOT going to do a lot of Christmas knitting this year. It always seems to turn a hobby that I absolutely love and turn to for stress relief into a source of stress and aggravation. That is not to say that I won't do any Christmas knitting, I will just pick and choose a few handknit gifts to do instead of trying to make so many. My knitting time is precious and what little of it there is is carved out of an already hectic schedule, so I don't really want to turn it into an exercise in frustration instead of an exercise in relaxation. So who will I knit for and what will I knit? Good question. So many things I want to knit, so little time!

That sweater is wonderful. I am not knitting at the moment due to an incident that involved my dog Pearl - AKA "The mistress of destruction" - I probably won't be knitting for a couple of weeks and don't know what to do with myself.
