Pint Ice Cream Cozy's

 These cozy's, looking like babies hats, are on their way to my son's friends.  They are knit with Cascade Fixation and US sz 5 dpn's.  I knit them as tight as I could and the gauge is spot on with the pattern that suggested US sz 7 needles.

Reba thinking......Knitting...schmitting....

Little Penny Sweater for Reba

With the book, Doggie Knits by Corinne Niessner, Cascade 220 Superwash in a violet color and US sz 6 & 7 circular needles, I was able to knit this for Reba.

It's size small and fits her pretty good, but she still did not want to model it for the camera. I understood after I saw the temperature was 76.

Reba, today

Here is Miss Reba, in her raised car seat, waiting to go. She has sure come a long way and has been living with us a little over a year now.

If you'd like to catch up on her life, you can read about Reba's beginnings here.

In this picture, the wild silver hairs are a sign of her "poodle" side.

I'm going to brag a bit here........when Reba announces the arrival of visitors, I thank her, ask her to be quiet and have her sit/stay as I open the door. She does so and will not go to the visitors unless I say. Amazing.

Even in a full run outside, she will stop mid stride when I command her to. Amazing, again.

I still love Reba.

Reba..........

Reba came to our house on August 5th.

This is a really good story about a gal [me] who really didn't care all that much for dogs - especially in the house. I mean, this gal, grew up with the knowledge that German Shepherds were to be outside to guard/protect the home. That kind of dog is useful.

One day, that gal was looking through the WA shelters [on-line] and saw this little face.........and just had to have her.

She's a 7 month old rescue (8 months old now) and she lives in the house. Yup, you read/heard right. She weighed almost 6 pounds - very underweight. She now weighs 7.45 pounds and loves, loves ME.

Reba is so smart. This gal has trained her to heel, sit, come, and not be anxious. Reba is a relaxed and happy pooch.

What is her breed? Someone mixed Poodle with Chihuahua so she's a Poo/Chi. :)

I love Reba.
