Lots of questions .....
Do you believe I knitted this Fiesta boucle over a year ago? Do you think it is a huge swatch? Do you see my tarnished ring on the needles with the stitches? Do you have any ideas for what I can make with this yarn in this guage?
Do you want to answer a few questions for me?
Do you have a cure or a way to relieve canker sores?
Do you use a sweeper instead of a vacuum? Would you recommend one to me?
Do you have something that improves your dog's breath?
Do you like contest prizes to be gift certificates to a yarn shop, quirky prizes and yarn, a really cool purse or something that is already knitted for you?
Do you want to tune in tomorrow for the CONTEST?

I like contests that send me a something rather than going to choose something myself.
I have a Hokey carpet sweeper and use it n the kitchen floor for years. But, I think the hand vac, dirt devil works a lot better and faster too.
I use a Swiifer to wash the gfloor and have heard good things about their floor sweeper but haven't tried it.

What do I like in a contest prize? I like a prize that arrives at my home.
Oh, I do like the colors of your large swatch and it would probably make a cute kid's sweater.
Sweeper, my opinion would be a vacuum works better and why have a sweeper, just to take up more space (my sister had one and didn't like it)
Bad dog breath well try giving them the sugar free mints yes the little white or pink ones,(again my sister does for her dog and she loves them the dog that is loves the mints).
Contest well I just love contests, anything that is a suprise is good for me even something already knitted up is fine as long as it is something useful.

Your Fiesta yarn is lovely. I don't know how much you have, but a t-shirt or sleeveless shell would be pretty...
Doggie breath can be relieved with "Greenies" dog chews. They are meant to help doggie's teeth and breath. Unfortunately it's rather like brushing - it doesn't last forever and must be repeated daily...
I'll be looking forward to your contest!
Hydrogen Peroxide as a rinse hurts and foams weirdly, but the canker sore will dry up quickly.
I use one of those "as seen on TV" rubber brooms to sweep up the dust and fur, then I vacuum up the piles.
Quirky.
I never did figure out what to do about dog breath.
I've always preferred a Kirby vac to anything, but they are pricey - what about those "As Seen on TV" red or black rubber bristled broom things? Looks like a good workout anyway =)
My dog's breath is ok, it's the other end that bothers me b/c he eats weeds in the yard and farts broccoli smells on us - SO gross - but they have those Denta bone things that are supposed to improve the cleanliness of their mouths, maybe they would help. OH yeah, and apparently we are supposed to brush their teeth regularly (never have, personally...)That's going to be one minty fresh, chlorophylled, clean mouthed poochy when you're done with him/her =))
the end
Canker sores: if it's on the inside of your cheek, rinse with warm water and salt, don't swallow; if it's on your tongue, this will seem gross but has worked for every one I've ever had - use tweezers and isolate the white, swollen taste bud that is infected, and squeeze it off or pull it off. An instant of pain for instant relief. I understand if you want to try other options first!
My mom has a sweeper-vac from HomeDepot that costs $29, it's very good, I'll get the name for you
Dentabone! My dog loves it. Martha stewarts website advises brushing your dog's teeth every day with that steak-tasting stuff, but I would lose a hand if I tried that. We put torn-up strips of fresh basil or mint leaves in our dog's food when it's in the garden, but dog breath is dog breath.
Thanks for the inspiring knittin readin!
