Looks beautiful doesn't it ? Not on my head it doesn't ~ but I wanted you to see before I remake it to suit me. Max sent me a present that may actually be all that is needed...

This pair was made from stash wool that had lost its label, its all wool and lightly tweeded. The pattern is from folk socks, tho I think I used only parts of one or two different patterns. The flower bit above the heel was a quirk since I was still knitting around, I left long tail to do 2nd row and embroidered the last row in (if memory serves)(looking at the sock I can't tell for sure anymore, it has all felted together on the inside-which is cozy) I have some gray & red cashmere that Iwould like to recreate these in.

Wish I had had my camera in town yesterday. There's a local man we often see out walking his 3 small but plump dogs and yesterday they were wearing sweaters, one in sophisticated gray, one in fancy red, and one in bright multi-colored stripes.

Dogs in sweaters always put me in mind of a Mickey Mouse cartoon in which Minnie knit a sweater for Pluto (is that the right name?) and he was so embarrassed to wear it outside.He was teased by other dogs and the family cat, who in the end got her comeupance when the sweater got wet and shrank down to cat size...
