The Adventure Just Doesn't Stop

Beanie #2
I recently took up knitting and am loving it. I am on my third beanie and first scarf. I love that it goes anywhere and it is a little addictive. To Bryan's dismay I knit everywhere :
  • in the car
  • on the airplane (Yes, TSA doesn't blink at knitting needles)
  • watching TV
  • at Sam's Tap Room or any other adult beverage serving establishments
  • waiting anywhere
  • listening to books
  • at coffee shops
and the list goes on .....
I have discover a few disadvantages to being a sled dog mom and knitter.
  1. Yarn comes in balls - Sled dogs chew on balls.
  2. Yarn is made from sheep fur (I know it is called wool) and I think it must still smell like sheep. (Yum, lamb chops)
  3. Bamboo needles are chewable, so are plastic place markers and rubber needle-nose protectors
Well, you know there is a problem when you husband comes into the room and says,"We're in trouble." And he was right, "they" were. Luckily for "them" most of the damages so to the ball of yarn not the beanie.
