Guest Blogger Driftwood Huck's Alibi Knits for YOU

By -


I do try hard to make you readers smile so you'll return!

Today's guest blogger is knitting as well. Huck, Golden Retriever extraordinare, using his light up needles to knit a vest. Nevermind the dog has two agility titles and an obedience leg. Nevermind he was a hospital therapy Delta Society service dog for 7 years. Rest assured he was not injured or stressed in any way during the photo op. In fact, Neuman's peanut butter dog treats were his reward. Having a dog who will do whatever you ask of him cheerfully is one of my life's greatest joys....

Additional help was needed to provide you with this guest shot. Nevermind he is a grown man who would rather be tortured by black flies and mosquitos than be involved in the blogpost. Nevermind he is a accomplished triathlete and cyclist. Never mind he is in the middle of chopping down a black walnut tree. Rest assured he was not really harmed in any way during the photo op. In fact, Sam Adams' Oktoberfest Ale was his reward. Having a friend who will comply with your craziness is one of my lifes' greatest joys.




Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

Well, yeah, okay, so he can do plain stockinette. Big deal. How is he at stranded knitting and cables? That's what I want to know. ;-)

Oh, that made me laugh. I don't think either of my dogs would sit still for that. They can't knit, but one of them can frog, which is a rather strange thing for a Canine Good Citizen to do -- you'd think that good citizenship would *not* include frogging something that the person who feeds you did not want frogged. Thanks for a great pick me up!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
