Comments on: The Jumping Schnauzer http://www.adamknits.com/2006/07/16/the-jumping-schnauzer/ The incoherent ramblings of a knitting, yarn dyeing grad student, who also happens to be a guy. You got a problem with that?

I'm not an expert by any means, but the people I've seen who get frustrated with their dog are usually grumpy and uptight, and since they're not having fun, their dog isn't either. </p> <p>I'm not sure why the stripes on the smore's sock aren't bigger, maybe it has to do with it being the first skein of that colorway that <a href="http://www.scoutj.com/" rel="nofollow">Scout</a> dyed. There's some color pooling in the heel of the sock which I think looks very cool.

I’m not sure why the stripes on the smore’s sock aren’t bigger, maybe it has to do with it being the first skein of that colorway that Scout dyed.

You can't do that kind of stuff with a cat. They just look at you like you have three heads then curl up and sleep.</p> <p>I have a couple hanks of the S'mores yarn, and I'm surprised the stripes aren't thicker. I hadn't seen it knit up yet, but who can resist a yarn named after your favorite childhood treat? Heh. And the Sugar 'n Creme you knit your dishcloth out of is a colorway I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to purchase again. I had 3 balls of that stuff my mom made me knit up into cloths for her bathroom. The large skeins. I think I made 9 cloths out of them. Never again. Oy.</p> How fun is that!?
