the hank of yarn that valently saved my Koigu PPM and the cotton beige for Knitted Babe... After cooling down I checked out the yarn tradgedy site... Miss Emily accompanied me saying encouraging things like, "It's ok mommy it happens..." or "Mommy that 's what baby dogs do... " and "mom how about a brush... We brush my tangles... "
After looking Koigu is fine... The band around it saved it... So, it stayed in a fine circle to be balled up... the Hank of unknown yarn gave it's knitting ability up to save it... The ball of beige lost only a yard or so of length due to a tight knot... Miss Emily wished to photograph the carnage but the batteries are dead right now in the camera... I will see if the Hank of Unknown yarn can be triaged later...
So, i feel as though I must now knit the Knitted Babe and something with my Koigu... Socks? Or a scarf... Hmmmm....
I started a Knitted Babe....

I will remember....
We have a Yarn Tragedy !!
A Tragedy ... as i sit here writing and blogging and surfing.... My puppy Sam destroyed yarn!! And it was not just any yarn!! My Koigu PPM!!! Tangled I think beyond repair.... He also got a couple other hanks of unknown named yarn from a previous SP round!! URGH!!!!!! He has done it before but it was able to be saved ... I really think this time he did it in.... I hope i can untangle it later.... Right now I just do not want to look at it!!
My Hero...
So.... Joe goes to the dump Monday night. Now the dump is literally like 50 feet from our driveway. Well it took him a while to come back... Suddenly his cell shows up on the phone... I am ready to let in where are u blah blah! He says call 911 I can't get thru a car just flipped into the pond by the Legion! Yep!! If my husband had not gone on a store run who knows what would have happened! He was passing back from the store and saw a car flipped on it's roof in the pond! On the brakes went... he could hear people banging on the doors... so he jumped in and got the door open and people out... looks like two young kids.... And that's it...
Also, please remember my grandmother, Marion Kramer Quinn... She passed away Aug. 9th... We have services today....
But on a knitting note... I have started the second sleeve of the easy baby sweater!! Yeah!! Just hoping I have enough yarn... but I swear I bought another skein... of course if i did i can't find it!!
