Dogs Steal Yarn

God, I totally admire your tenacity on the blanket. I don't think I could do it!

Well, congrats on finishing the blanket. It looks beautiful and will be loved by the little one.

Still sending good thoughts for Diego. How is Sadie taking it?

Congrats on finishing the baby blanket! The colors are great together. It will be an heirloom for sure.

Hope Diego feels better! Its tough having a sick pet.

Oh, Diego puppy! Give him many pats and kisses! Glad to hear he's feeling a little better!

You are a champ for knitting that blanket. It's beautiful! I made the little blanket from SnB and I was going to kill myself - it was soOOoOo boring. I'm sure he'll love it.

Congratulations on finishing the blakie! I know exactly how you feel.
Continued good wishes to sweet Diego.

ay, chica, all hugs and good wishes for Diego and yourself. It's horrible with the 4 legged friends are ill and you can't explain all the nasty procedures to them.
Here's hoping Diego's better and that your knit therapy group kicks in.

When the nephew takes what remains of the baby blanket with him to college, you will know the true meaning of "so worth it."

Besos, baby.

Nice blankie! The baby should be able to enjoy it for some time.

Well wishes for you and Diego from Jersey.

The blanket is amazing, even if it did make you a bit crazy. I'm glad Diego is at least home and comfy, I'll keep up the healthy doggy thoughts :)

As I was reading this, Fred came over and curled up on my arm and stuck his face in the laptop screen. So I'm interpereting this as Fred sending some fuzzy loving to Diego.

The blankie looks great!! Love knit in to every torturous inch, I'm sure...

I can see you now!

Lucky nephew! The blanket looks great and will be a major keepsake. What a project -- good for you for sticking with it!

So sorry to hear about Diego - I hope he's feeling tip top soon!

The blank looks awesome! I really like that pattern.

I thought you might be interested in this story about the Hold Steady. They're in town this weekend, but unfortuantely I can't go because I have a wedding to attend at the same time :-(

I was thinking about knitting a baby blanket sort of like that. And just getting started on it was such a pain in the butt that I took the yarn back and exchanged it for stuff for another project. I wasn't sure if I'd done the right thing, but now that you're describing your experience knitting this blanket, I'm glad I did.

Ah, Cari, NEVER SAY NEVER. You'll do it again. I am sure. Poor Diego. I wanna hug him. And you.

The Blankie Babe triumphs! Go, you! You may have frozen a few brain cells along the way, but that is one terrific looking blankie :-) And best wishes to recovering cute fuzzy guy.

And on the 45th day the Lord did look down and say "Crikey, now that's what I call a baby blanket" and he did proclaim her a Goddess, and whispered to his underlings "go, make Diego well and all will be peaceful again, and they can buy new window frames to keep them warm this winter".

Many many hugs and kisses for Diego.

Alice sends Diego a hug. If she had arms, she would. Really. Sick pets are worse than sick people - they assume we can understand everything, but we're so stuck on language. Silly human brains.

The blanket is a work of art. I am sure your Nephew will have many cozy moments and calming dreams sleeping under it. I just started a much simpler one (ASC, King Charles Brocade, all yellow) for my sister's kid and am now concerned that I am making it too small at 24" wide? I have only 7 balls and so was hoping to make do. Do you think I can get away with a smaller blankie?

And being a dog person (not a baby person) I am wishing Diego much good health. Even though we may not be able to understand exactly what they are trying to tell us, there are wonderful vets out there who have studied their anatomy well enough to make our babies ouch go away. My boy Raleigh sends healing powers through the neighborhood air. And I do too....

Glad to hear that Diego is home. I hope that all test results are fine, or at least something not to serious.

Your baby blanket is beautiful. I will be a family heirloom one day, I am sure.

Have a good weekend, and enjoy loving on Diego.

Nice blanket! I feel your pain - I'm in the last ten rows of the damned baby blanket from SnB. It IS in Koigu, but it still bores me to tears to knit. Freedom at last!

And many well wishes for Diego. I have had to take my kitties in for tests, and it is always nerve-wracking waiting for the results.

I'm so glad to hear that Diego is improving. Let's hope the vet finds out very soon that it's not too serious and the little chap will be stealing yarn for many years to come:)

The blanket is a work of art, you must have the patience of a saint!

You are a good woman! Like the others have mentioned, blankets can be terribly boring to knit. Luckily you have blog entries to remind you of the ennui when you are tempted to knit another one :-).

Hey there,
Glad to hear that sweet Diego's feeling somewhat better. That blanket is just gorgeous. What a lucky nephew, in every conceivable way. See you tomorrow!

I'm sending good thoughts for Diego and wish I could be there this weekend, just once, knitting with you all. xo

Beautiful! It truned out great and I know they are going to love the baby blanket.

Hope all is well with Diego...sick puppies are so sad. Will be thinking of you guys...

Oh, I'm so glad Diego is feeling better.

The blanket is beautiful - I'm sure your nephew will love it for a long, long time.

Hope Diego's continues to feel better.

I'm glad to hear your little guy is feeling better, I hope he really is getting better. Hopefully, also, your hours of tedium will be rewarded by the little one carrying this thing around until it is in tatters...
Have fun with Amy! :)

dude. WE are so the lucky ones. :)

blanket looks lovely. (you're a better woman...)
