Happy Blog anniversary. Your dogs are adorable (I am also a dog lover). I am also knitting the "Monkey" socks in Lisa Souza "Mars Quake" yarn. Your "Delft" is much better with Monkey.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your 1 year anniversary. I started a blog this year but don't put much in it. I was interested to see you live in Regina. I have never been there but my son lives there and I hope to get out to see him this year.
ReplyDeleteI love the dogs especially pocus.

Hi, I'm a dog lover too! You have wonderful dogs, and yes, you lured me over here with the promise of a chance to win yarn! I couldn't restist! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love your dogs, can't imagine what this world would be like without our pups. Do you think there would still be war if each person played with a dog for at least an hour each day?

Congratulations, I agree Line and Violet are sooo funny. I have finished the monkey socks and have started the hot smoking socks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Anniversary. Your socks rock, even the ones of a different yarn. ;-) My blog is a fledgling but there are a couple of LWDs (Little White Dogs), Bichons, that make an appearance. If I win the prize send me Hocus Pocus. What a cutie!

Happy Blogiversary to you! I am new at this blogging thing and just started mine in Dec '06.
ReplyDeleteLove your dog photos. They are all so beautiful. My passion is cats. Have your blog bookmarked so I can return to see your finished monkey socks. You're a very talented knitter and your work is gorgeous.
Bon Blogiversaire! Thought I'd toss in my jr. high French. Congrats on your anniversary, and of course your knitting! Knit on!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on one year! I'm so excited for you. I love seeing all the new posts on your blog and your work is gorgeous! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first anniversary. Love the dogs especially Austin. I like the color you are using for Monkey. I am currently knitting Monkey too. Just restarted it in a plum donegal tweed. Started it in a "busier" yarn and didn't like it so it went to the Frog Pond. So far I am pleased with the results. I can't wait to see your finished sock.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogversary! Just couldn't resiste the chance to win some Lisa Souza yarn. Your dogs are SO cute! ~Paula
ReplyDeleteLove your page. You sound like you should teach at our little school that I work at in Sebago Maine. We sometimes have split grades when there are too many kids for one of that "level" and not enough for two.
ReplyDeleteI love the pics of your dogs and your socks. I am a knitter and spinner too. I have a small knitting club after school with 9 kids from grades 3, 4, 5.
Congratulations on your blog!

ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteI love all your babies, but Hocus has got to be my favorite. That face is just so adorable!
Great job on your socks. I ordered my CT&H book last week and have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival. After a bit of practice, I hope to graduate up to making the monkey socks pattern. It looks so cool that even my picky 12-year-old daughter thought they were neat!

Happy Blogversary! Your dogs are so cute! Love your socks. I'm currently working through Mary Ann's book so I hope my socks turn out as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogversary! Great blog!!! Your dogs are very cute, and your knitting is wonderful. In South Florida the weather is either hot or hotter. When we get a cold front it gets down to 50 degrees. It's almost impossible to imagine -32. Have you knitted booties for your dog children?

Your a wonderful photographer, and I really like your blog. I'm glad I found it. I'm also a sucker for dogs and a contest... but I will be back to see your socks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats. I'm like TAFME - have a blog but nothing posted. I guess I'm too busy reading other peoples so keep them posts coming for us blog 'eavesdroppers'!
ReplyDeleteHappy One-Year to you! I've enjoyed lurking on your blog and have to say a big thank you. You got me hooked on Lime and Violet's podcast. Your dogs are a treat (three have me for their own here...) and your socks are wonderful. Thanks for the contest and keep up the great blogging!

Glad to introduce myself to you. That little white dog is too adorable. Congratulations on your first year of blogging!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and generous contest!! Happy Blogiversary to YOU!! I have been reading for a while but didn't know it was your "birthday".:)
ReplyDeleteHope you have another wonderful year! All the best
Happy Blogiversary! Cute doggies.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogversary. Not sure how you have the time to do everything. We've just adopted a rescue Saint/Lab/Malamute at 95 pounds and 20 months, after losing our old dog. He also loves the snow, like yours, but is finally deciding he is a house dog. Blowing enough coat I'm going to have to start spinning again, and he likes to help me cook and knit. Don't mind getting rutabagas and apples back from him, but he has also decided that balls of yarn are great to tote around. Arrggh! May you have many more good years of blogging.

Cool contest for your anniversary. I've been thinking about mine as well, though it's not until April. I'll have to come up with something enticing.
ReplyDeleteI love your doggie pictures, the snow and your school stories.

ReplyDeleteWow! What a nice blog! I haven't worked up the courage to try one yet! I love the dogs. I'm curious about the collies (I think they are collies!) Are you a yarn spinner? Have you ever tried to spin their hair? I have two short haired dogs so no dog hair spinning for me. But I have two big Belgian draft horses that I am going to try to spin their winter coat this year. Should be interesting!

I've never been to your blog before, so decided to pay a visit. I love the snow photos, and your dogs are beautiful. Here in Oregon we con't get nearly the snow that you do, so I really enjoy seeing your sights. Congratulations on your blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, I apologize that it took an anniversary and a contest to bring me back . . . what can I say, too many blogs too little time.
ReplyDeleteHarrison is gorgeous, and Hocus Pocus is just a cutie. But it's your socks I envy most.

Happy Blogiversary! I love looking at your dogs and your climate - I've lived near Wash DC my entire life but my brother played hockey in Snow Lake for a few years and we heard many tales about the cold and snow (and I believed him, he came home for Christmas and wore only his suit jacket while the rest of us were all bundled up and freezing on our way to midnight Mass.)

Happy First Blogversary! Although, I don't have a blog, I enjoy reading them. Love your canine babies. We had 2 Chinese Shar Pei, which were rescue dogs and inherited our daughter's English mastiff. Between April and Oct 06, we lost all three. We adopted a 2 year old boxer who is a riot. Yesterday he thought he was a cat and got into a lot of yarn--just unravelled some skeins.
