Finished Jan 7th but took an extra week to weave in ends and sew on buttons. Really love this project and want to knit another with a different yarn.

Dec 26th- took a break to knit something extra bulky on size 15 needles. Need instant gratification.

Dec 16th- new needles and finally the energy to pull out all the puppy-chewed rows and figure out where I was in the chart. Back to work and hoping that all the bad karma is over.

Dec 3rd- Came home to find the dogs really liked my knitting project. Or at least my wooden needles. Had chewed it up, but was salvageable. Should have photoed that, but it was a disaster. Had to order new needles. Project on hold.

Nov 26th- Project started off from original magazine pattern. Knit, unraveled, and started over three times. I thought I really didn’t know how to knit anymore. Then, I finally searched it and saw the pattern corrections. I had to take a break for a while because I was all in a fit over it, but happy enough to find I wasn’t an idiot.
