It's About the Dogs
















Lots of fun was had yesterday at Arcadia with the Doggie Knits trunk show. It may still be on display, if you want to check it out. The attendees were people from the yarn (shop) industry, who were in town for a seminar sponsored by Yarn Market News. I understand that some of the speakers mentioned dogs, and the presumably untapped market for dog things. What could be a more satisfying project than knitting for your dog? It's been over fifteen years for me, and I still love it.
There's some problems here at the Lucky Penny studio. One, is I can't get the CD slot on my computer tower to open. I just broke a size 1 double point trying to pry it open. This may be why you start to see old, old photos on the blog (I'm trying to post previously not seen ones) and my Ravelry page isn't updated.
My other problem is I need to find a low cost web designer to refresh the Lucky Penny retail site. It's in desperate need of a makeover, and doesn't really promote Doggie Knits very well.
I'm going to be dealing with an antsy Man over the next few weeks. I'm on deadline for two sweater vests for a production of A Comedy of Errors. The deadline knitting is always the time I have to do intarsia. I've already turned down a road trip for this weekend.

Sorry I missed the trunk show, but I just in Arcadia a couple hours ago and it looks great! I played a couple hands of 5 card stud with the gang.
