I have to say - I always like her patterns. I've knit a few over the years and have consistently been impressed by the clarity of her instructions and always by the final product.
I'm using DROPS Fabel, of course, in a dark purple colour which doesn't seem to photograph well...
Pretty lace! That's the progress I made before the most exciting part of my day happened yesterday - the arrival of the new foster puppy!
Meet Barbuche. Also seemingly named Horatio as of last week. I'm not sure what the story is there, but I'm calling him Barbu:
He's a twelve year old Bichon from Gerdy's Rescue, the best, most incredible rescue organization I've ever heard of. Barbu was at the SPCA, where he had 8 teeth and some bone removed from his jaw a couple of days ago. He's not in the best of moods now, as he refuses to take his pain meds (I'll win in the end!) and hasn't eaten since he got here, but I figure he just needs some time to adjust. He also has a big patch of fur missing on his back, likely from a bad flea infestation (which is gone now) or possibly from a metabolic condition that has yet to be diagnosed. He's a sweet adorable dear, fully housetrained, and gets along well with my furbabies. We're going to have a good time.
