What's Knitting Now??

Well, as usual......

............. Poppa is busy.  He was replacing one of the anchors that hold the fence around the patio in an upright position.  Apparently during the winter when our area got hit with a LOT of snow, the fence started to lean, so....

.... under Squeegie's careful supervision, Poppa fixed it.  Of course, he also had innumerable other tasks to finish during the spring season.  We have spent a lot time lately working at Aunt Peggy's house sorting things out and organizing it in preparation of selling her house.  It is a long process but we are making headway slowly but surely.  Meantime, I usually take the evenings off to relax, knit and watch TV.  What have I been working on you ask!  Well, when I finished the blanket for Mommy I thought I should fulfill some of my other requests.  Before we left for Florida I told Munchie I would make him a "shirt".  He chose several colours and asked for stripes with them.  So I created this.....

..... in sock yarn for light weight and comfort - not to mention that it used up some of my leftover bits of sock yarn.... I still have to block it and add buttons.  Once I had the knitting portion done I moved on to my next requested item.  You might recall....

.......... me mentioning the llama (or are they alpacas?) farm we pass on our way to the Post Office when we are in Florida.  There are about a dozen or so of these woolly creatures in varying shades from white to dark brown.  Every time we go past Squeegie oohs and aahs and asks if he can have a llama of his very own.  We have explained repeatedly that it is the wrong climate for llamas where we live.  Finally he asked if I could "make" him a llama.  Since Taffy now has Minnie....

......... for a little friend, I agreed that Squeegie could have a llama for a pet.  He had already picked out a name...... the llama would be called Snout.  So, when Munchie's shirt was finished Poppa & I went to choose some yarn for a llama and I got to work.  Here.....

......... is Snout.  We think he turned out quite well - even...........

........... from another perspective.  And most importantly.....

........ he and Squeegie are already best buddies!  So, what am I doing now????  Well....

........... it seems that Munchie has lost one of the socks I made for him before we went to Florida, so I am making him some new ones - to match his new shirt!
