GOOD MORNING! (KNITTING WITHOUT DOG HAIR IS NOT AN OPTION)

Wow – yes, the time is not off. It is really just a little past 3am on Wednesday morning. I must have fallen asleep last night – almost like a coma – around 9pm and I slept until just now. 6 hours of sleep in a row and a very good sleep, too. No Melatonin, no wine. I am very surprised and happy about this fact. The new bed must be good for me. I am glad. Not getting enough sleep for weeks made me miserable and surely didn’t help last week when got that fever bug.

Now, let’s hope that is not just a one-time good night of sleep but just the first of many. And if I can get two more hours, I am going to be extremely happy.

Of course I won’t tell you that because of my comatose sleep, poor Noah and Hermione didn’t get to go out last night around 11pm, like they usually do. I wonder what I am doing to their bladders these days… Well, they just slept as well and just now went out. Just like it really doesn’t matter to them. Such good trooper poopers.

The active dog…

The inactive dog…

So, what is happening knitting-wise chez Claudia? Oh, alright I’ll give you a little update on two of the gazillion projects that fill my house.

Dr. Bob’s sock is looking good. I made it past the heel (I knitted a boomerang heel and yes, I know I have promised to translate the directions since forever… mea culpa).

I remembered to ask my SIL about Bob’s shoe size. Even tho’ I knitted socks for Bob before, I didn’t write down the size… It was before Ravelry and I am not my mom who keeps a little notebook with all the details on the socks she knits for everyone.

I also started a new baby blanket, based on Jen’s Wank It.

I really like her pattern, how it starts in the center and gets bigger and bigger. I am going to use three colors instead of two and I am going to have a different stitch pattern on each stripe. Stockinette, garter and seed stitch. And yes, I know what the name means. But it Jen’s fault – she named the blanket, not me. ;-)
