Anything Knitted and Crocheted: Just a quick update on Leo....

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Just a quick update on Leo....

Leo (August 7, 2011)

Yeah! Leo seems to be doing well with crating *knocks on wood* :) On the days where I am not working or I am working a late shift I just put him in his kennel (crate) and he seems to be fine with it now. I do leave the TV on for company and he gets a busy bone (which he gets only when in the kennel) to chew on. So glad that he realizes that we do come home when he is in the kennel.

Leo still goes to Dogs Paw Dog Daycare when I am doing the opening shift. the reason being is that more than 5 hrs in a kennel without a break is not fair to him. to be at work by 10 am, I have to leave by 8:45 am so that I have time to vacuum and have a coffee. I hate being rushed in the morning...lol.

So glad that Leo is adjusting to the new routine finally. He is a very sweet dog and we only want the best for my bud. He is the greatest and we have learned so much from him. Still not sure who has benefited more, Leo or hubby and I...maybe it is all of this.

Have a good one!

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
