Important Lesson

Never EVER wear a lovely long dangly handknit lace scarf while cleaning up dog wee from the floor.

F**k it.

And now for your viewing pleasure - the vest for my mum's birthday next week. All done. Completely reversible (thanks to knitting the body in the round and grafting the shoulder seams!). Happy to escort it off the premises.

I'm sure she'll like it, though.

  1. Oh dear...the scarf probably needed a fresh block though (*trying to look on bright side*)...

  3. Oh no, just the thought of all that wool soaking up all that liquid makes me twitch. I am sure your mom will love the vest. All that waffle stitching must have been tough.

  4. The vest is beautiful! Your mum is so lucky.

    Dog wee in the wool? Well, at least it's organic. Thank Goodness it wasn't tom cat or billy goat wee. The smell would never come out!
