“We are all a little weird and life is a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." ~ Dr Seuss.

I am so lucky to have found someone who is compatibly weird with me. So much so that I knew he would enjoy getting a knit pug for our 2nd year anniversary, which everyone knows is the pug year. Since we can't have pets in our apt, I made him one out of cotton instead...

Pattern: Pug with Anorak
Yarn: Knitpicks Cotlin
Needles: US 5
Mods: Smaller yarn and needles than called for. Didn't make the jacket due to a lack of time and the wrong sorts of materials. Gave him a scarf instead (in part because his head was a little wobbly).

vanilla and cashmere

Socks! AKA signs of life, at least for this blog/blogger. Simple, toe-up socks for a WWFY swap.

Can you believe I have NOTHING to knit right now? OK, not nothing... oh and there's that craft yarn council course I'm supposed to be working on... but you know what I mean, right?!
