While I wasn't here

I continued to knit. Quite a lot at stages. I've been a busy knitter of late. I began a little journey of knitting creatures. There have been numerous and varied requests around here but this is what I started with.

Puppies, complete with a snuggle blanket. From the very sweet Itty Bitty Toys book by Susan B. Anderson.

One for her (the bigger) because this was her specific request. It's been named Sleepy Pendoodle after we read the book by the same name.

And then one for him because he gave Pendoodle so much snuggling. And I found this very snugglable puppy-like wool at the Handweavers and Spinners Guild. The he puppy is a little larger and has had many wild imaginative names, none that have yet stuck.

And a friend for the littler lady? That no-so-wee identity is in progress.
