Good morning lovely people! How are you today?

My knitting has come to a screeching halt this week because after we picked up Frodo from the kennel on Friday evening, he started with unrelenting diarrhea and we were on 24/7 nursing care. We took him to a vet practice on Saturday morning and the medicines they prescribed did not work. Yesterday morning I drove him 50 minutes up north (as opposed to going south towards the city) and he was seen at an emergency vet hospital that has 24/7 nursing care. He was admitted for dehydration and I was so glad!!  He is expected to make a full recovery. 

My socks are coming along, I even knit another inch after I snapped the photo above.

What are you working on this week?

    I hope Frodo is doing much better, and you can stop worrying and get back to knitting.

    Poor Frodo. I'm glad that the animal hospital you took him to has the 24/7 nursing care. What a blessing and I'm so glad to hear that he is recovering.

    Love everything about these socks!

    Poor Frodo! Yep, they mentioned that my Lewey had flu like symptoms. He got an antibiotic, antinausea meds, a probiotic, and a charcoal tablet to absorb the acid in his tummy. Of course two cans of special food that he could only have a couple tablespoons twice a day. He is feeling much better now. {{sigh}} yes, it was like a geriatric ward at our house for the weekend.

    I hope Frodo is feeling better. Knitting soothes the soul so those socks look like a good project for right now. I'm working on socks and a shawl.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
