My mama asked “when will there be a black dog series on Spoonflower” and I couldn’t resist the taunt. Here is a sneak peek at the first two colorways of my Dogs Stealing Yarn design. It will get a better title eventually. I have swatches of these ordered so I can check them out properly and do some color fine-tuning. Each dog has snatched some yarn and you will see some knitting needles scattered around if you look closely. My hounds are fascinated with my knitting project and are convinced that the ball of yarn is actually a toy for them. So far they haven’t snatched it, but it is only a matter of time.
Nice
Love, love, LOVE!!
They bear a striking resemblance to a certain hound I know and love. She spent a good part of a fiber play date in Rochester bounding around with roving trailing from her jowels. She spent her time alternating between shoving her snout in baskets and leaping over them, inviting the spinners to leave their wheels and give chase. Sadly, I was the only one giving chase. She also gleefully destroyed several of the host dog’s toy balls. We would have left immediately, but we were in Rochester, and she complained bitterly the whole ride down. I had hoped for a respite…..
In all honesty, she is a wonderful dog now. She sits by my wheel and lets me spin. If I stop treadling, she puts her big triangular head on the treadle, so it’s good incentive to keep working.
I can’t wait for this to become public! I see a dog park outfit in my future!
