Scarves . . .

Apparently are on their way out, being replaced by socks. Well, I am not quite ready to commit to socks. Instead I have started two scarves.


The Sunday Swirl I had attempted to make into the eyelets heart scarf (after several failed attempts, was frogged) is now going to be 'My so Called Scarf.'























I have learned I need to concentrate, even though the pattern is only two rows. This was evidenced by Beth taking out 1.5 inches while we were watching movies at Fountian Square on Saturday night - this was after two fixable mistakes.



I received some beautiful yarn from Brooks Farm that I finally have wound and have started working into the 'Rainy Day Scarf.' The yarn label doesn't have guage or recommended needle size, so I picked size 7 to experiment with. It seems to be working ok.

The pictures didn't turn out soo good, but you get the picture.

Pedro the Rapist Dog Files

Miss Ginger met Pedro the Rapist Dog about 6 months ago during the cold months. The poor guy is some kind of Chihuahua mix, and is about 1/2 the size if Ginger. He was outside and followed us across a busy street. I tried to be the nice neighbor and return him home. I rang the bell of the house I believed he lived in, only to find out he lived a street over, and his humans often leave him outside when they go to work. Since our first meeting, we have seen several cars almost hit him while he carelessly runs across the main road of the subdivision, and admitiadly I have almost hit him. We've since seen him several time, and even called Animal control on him. His humans don't seem to care much about him. He is not fixed, runs loose and does not wear tags. I have to wonder if he is vacinated or if he gets fed.

I have since come to learn that animal control only works M-F, 8-6 and if you call them outside of those times there is nothing they can do. So I am going to being a Pedro the Rapist Dog (PTRD) Files.

Today, Sunday August 19, 2007. At 0830pm Ginger and I began our walk. At the park we saw a car slowing down, and soon saw the reason. PTRD was strolling across the street from the park to his side of the street. Once the car began to move again, PTRD spotted Ginger and I and came running across the street again - the car again braking to avoid the little black dog.

PTRD soon assumed his position right behing Ginger, with his little nose where it should not have been. He followed us from there up to the first entrance of "T" circle, around, past his house and back to our house. A good .5 mile walk. Once back in our driveway I contemplated taking him home, calling Animal Control just for fun or kidnapping him so I could call Animal Control the next day. Well, I was saved from my decision making when my neighbor kids came out and offered to take him home. Once M returned she said his humans were just getting home and took him inside. I could say we had about 5 attempted rapes, during the walk.

GRRRRRR!!!! is all I can say.
