She’s here… she’s here!! She’s on my lap as I type.
I brought Aggie home on Wednesday! She’ll get to go back and visit her mom, sister and one brother on Saturday when we go for a bbq. Actually she’ll see at least her mom and sister quite often as they live down the road and we’re friends.
She’s been a great girl already. I have a big basket on my side of the bed. She whimpers to go out at about 2am. We do our business and she goes right back to sleep until 6am. Even though the basket has been serving as her crate (just easier for me to sitck my hand down and reassure her at night) we’ll start real crate training on Monday. We’re huge believers in this method after we crate trained Bailey and I have yet to meet a vet that doesn’t think it’s the way to go. I’ve already introduced her to it for a few naps but I wanted to her to feel comfortable with us and in her new home first. She hasn’t had one accident in the house yet. She went everywhere with me yesterday in a doggie tote bag. She slept so much no one even knew she was there. Good girl.
Our friends that we got Aggie from have a little girl named Lucy. She looks adorable in hats so I’m making her the Fiber Trends Garden Party Hat.
It will be perfect on Lucy. I started the brim the other night. Here’s how far I’ve gotten:
I’m knitting it with none other than Elann’s Highland Wool. Speaking of Elann… they have a great line up for the month of November. I just got my knittable swatches yesterday. The new Highland Silk is some gorgeous stuff. It does have a sheen to it due to the silk content.
I’m also working on a V-neck sweater for Dan with Highland Wool in the darker denim color. The exact name slips my mind at the moment. I think this may end up being one of his favorite comfy sweaters to just hang out in. It’s just a basic wide V-neck with a band of ribbing that will go up the sides and down the inside of the sleeves. Of course, I’m knitting it in the round so it’s a pretty simple knit so far. Kind of hard to make out the ribbing before it’s been blocked but here’s a picture for proof anyway:
I leave you with one more adorable shot of Aggie:
