The Things We Do For

Laughs. That is Lucy - she is my best model. Funny story about her attire. See, we occasionally have dinner at Applebee's. Whenever we go, we sit at the bar. I always take knitting with me and JB chats with the boys around the bar. Well, a couple of years ago, one of the regulars starting asking when I was going to knit him a pair of socks. (Well the answer is when h*ll freezes.) Then he decided he wanted a pair of mitten - with a string - so he wouldn't lose them. It was then decided that they need to be rainbow mittens because of where he works. Don't ask. Finally I broke down and bought inexpensive Patons Canadiana yarn in a rainbow colorway. I knit a pair of mittens. Because I can't read - I knit for 4" after the ribbing, rather than 4 rows, so the cuffs can fold up or down. Funny how the mittens are random colors but the i-cord is rainbow stripes. I made a hat with the remaining yarn. Trust me, I didn't want any of this yarn left in the house. When the items are delivered I'll take a photo of the real recipient wearing them. Lucy did not like having a mitten on her foot! She was less than pleased being a model - but she is a good girl and choose not to eat me. Don't forget to check out the other Dogs on Thursday posts.
