How are you? What have you been working on this week?

My knitting has been slow since the weekend. Above is a photo of the leg warmers for my mother in law. They are coming along nicely. I cannot wait to be finished with this project so I can start a new project. I have yet to decide what the new project is but you will be the first to know.

Frodo was unwell again, hence the lack of knitting time. However, we are on the road to solutions for him. I have great difficulty getting an appointment with his regular vet because of their limited hours and the days they are opened. On Monday, I successfully obtained an appointment and he received a thorough examination. He has a history of a wonky liver for the past four years without symptoms (schnauzer thing) and it is flaring up and causing symptoms now. That is why he is having repeated bouts of diarrhea and un-wellness. The vet has a medicine treatment plan for him and is quite confident we can get him back to his regular self. We have meds and a followup appointment for more bloodwork. His heart and lungs sound good for being a 14 year old and he is a feisty little man.

    I like the yarn you're using for those leg warmers, and I do hope the vet's plan for Frodo is successful. It's difficult enough when we age, but it's almost harder when our pets do!

    Poor Frodo! I do hope he is on the mend again with the vet's recommended plan. It's so hard when our pets are unwell. The leg warmers are so pretty - they will be a cheerful addition to your mother-in-law's winter wardrobe!

    The colorway of the leg warmers is super cheerful. Your MIL is going to love them. Poor Frodo. He has had a rough few months. Praying this treatment plan gets him on the road to recovery.

    I love the variegated yarn you are using for the leg warmers. I hope that Frodo gets feeling better soon. It's good that you have a caring and competent vet. Happy 4th of July to you and yours!

    I'm sorry to hearthat Frodo isn't doing well again, but glad that you were able to get an appointment with his regular vet on Monday. Looking forward to hearing that he is full recovery mode soon!

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).
