It is hot here. Hot & humid. Neither Robin or I have had any desire to go outside for our usual walk in over a week. (with the exception of the one decent day we had, we walked that day) That means that Robin is bored & hyper. Plus he just won't stop barking. This pretty much is adding injury to insult at this point where I'm already uncomfortably warm & every bark is pulsating in my head. I just want him to shut up at this point. He wants me to throw his squeaky toy for the 1000th time tonight. If I put him outside he just sits by the door & barks to come in.
This would be the main reason for not blogging the last few nights. He's just frayed me down to my last nerve.
Despite my lack of blogging I've been plugging away on my lace knitting. I've rediscovered my love of the Pegasus Shawl.
Okay this is going to be an abriviated post because despite me letting him out 4 times in the last hour (and him sitting at the door barking to be let back in) Robin has just piddled all over the floor. That was my last nerve.
This is Pegasus yesterday half way through chart 5.

This is my new "mindless shawl" Alberta from Stahman's Shawls & Scarves. I'm knitting it in Harmony from Jojoland.

Here's the a pic from the book on what the shawl will sort of look like when it's finished.

I'm going to take a couple of Aspirin & put myself to bed now...

Oh, I love the colors of your yarn for the farose shawl. I'm working on one of the other shawls from Stahman and she did a great job with her pattern writing - very easy to follow and fun to knit.

Oh no... usually its the bitter cold when we get the refusals to go out... however I understand, we're in the middle of a heat wave here. 97 yesterday - 98 today - the dogs ARE. NOT. HAPPY.
Neither am I... but I did cast on a cotton tank top last night!

Pegasus is looking great. I can't wait to see the finished shawl.

I've been a bit crabby towards my pets lately too. I can't stand slurpy/licky noises, and Sebastian loves to lie on the floor and give himself a bath right next to where I'm trying to sleep. I may or may not have thrown a shoe at him.
