Crocheted Mixed-Stitch Stripey Blanket

IMG_2607One thing I love to do to stay cozy in the winter months is crochet.  I’ve been working on a crocheted mixed-stitch blanket ala Little Woollie.  Mine is shown here, with modeling help from Lil’ Pupper who loves crocheted blankets.  He likes to get under them and then stick his nose and teeth through the holes, wrestling and growling like he’s a scary monster.

Anyway, I really like littlewoollie.blogspot.com and was especially enamored with her mixed-stitch stripey blanket.  It’s kind of free form, and you know, I love free-form anything.  I really want to add some Catherine Wheels, but I’ve been feeling lazy and just doing EASY stitches.  I have to say, I think I love lazy-easy more than I love Catherine Wheels.  Well, that’s me, at least that’s me now.  Who knows maybe I’ll feel adventurous and complicated tomorrow.IMG_2299

Pupper’s Morning Adventure

Processed with Moldiv

It’s hard to live in an apartment with a dog. A feisty, silly, still-a-puppy dog named Ajax. Nicknamed Pupper, Ajax Pupperopolis, Ajax Pupperknuckles, Sug (like Sugar), Buddy.

He needs to go to the bathroom. People don’t want him to go to the bathroom. He is a nice dog but he has his needs. I feel bad sometimes and try to get him to go on yucky grass that people don’t care about. Some people do care about yucky grass, and that’s hard to predict, so it’s nice when they leave a sign. Pupper can’t read luckily, or he might feel bad. Poor peeing Pupper.
