I've been making headway on the Stockholm Sweater. The body is finished, and the short row shaping on the first sleeve is completed. Now I can zoom through stockinette down to the wrist with some decreases. The fabric is really light, because of the fingering weight yarn. I am hoping to have it finished in a few weeks.
Lula was in the dog house yesterday. I'm not sure why, but she made a couple of small wet spots on my bed. It was covered with a dog sheet, because she likes to lounge, Still...I can't have that happening. Maybe because it's Springtime. I seem to remember this same situation with another on of my dogs at this time of year. I got out Carlie's old crate and set it up in the bedroom. Instead of driving to knitting, I stayed home and washed the duvet cover and my down comforter. It dried well in the afternoon sun. Oh well. Pets can cause us some extra work at times. I'm glad that I saved this kennel. She really seems to like it.
The sun has been shining, and it does a fantastic job of line drying the clothes. I love how clean and fresh the nightgowns and bedding smell. It really saves on energy costs, too. I placed the pineapple in the windowsill for a couple of days. I had some earlier, and it was fantastic! The flavor was so sweet and tangy. What a treat! I am looking forward to all of the fresh summer fruits that we have in store. They are so delicious. Are you enjoying this weather?

Lula looks so cute! It is probably a new, fun thing for her. Beautiful sweater....does look delicate and soft and fluffy-weight! Andrea
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea. You're right; it is really soft and fluffy. I can't wait to wear it!
DeleteOh no-poor Lula does look repentant. Our weather has been perfect for the last 2 days except for some strong winds in the late afternoon. Perfect weather for sitting on the back patio and knitting away.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I've been doing, too, Anita. There are some gorgeous birds hanging around my garden right now. There was the prettiest electric blue one in the birdbath today.
DeletePoor Lula, I'm sure she felt bad, too. If it happens again, you might have your Vet check for a urinary track infection, (bladder cystitis, crystals in the urine, etc). Sometimes it's more medical then seasonal. Better safe then sorry.
ReplyDeleteHi Lacy, Thanks for commenting. I'll keep that in mind. It was so out of character for her, and she did look sorry.
ReplyDeleteYour sweater is coming along nicely! I love that color on you and it looks so soft and warm! Poor Lula. I second the suggestion to have her checked by the vet if it happens, again. It's in the mid-80s, here, and this is my kind of weather! Neither too cold nor too hot. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. It's a fun knit. I got a lot done on the first sleeve today. Lula seems happy and healthy. She spent most of the day with my, outside. Isn't this weather fabulous?
ReplyDeleteI hope she doesn't have a bladder infection, I recall that happening to my golden Max once. Love the sweater, it is gorgoeus. Good luck with the finish.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mereknits. I am putting lots of hours into the sweater. Lula had to go out twice last night. I go with her, to watch for wildlife. I will take her in if it continues. I think she wants to chase rabbits. She can smell their scent with the windows open at night.
