THe sock is fixable and forgivable, but the dead bird? Bleh.</p> I would cut out the heel and pick up the live stitches and work it like an afterthought heel to repair it.

Hope it comes along soon. Yes, the cute dog pictures always work. We had a cat that used to bring in birds and other animals before they were dead so he could play with them first. The flying squirrel baby was a bit much for me. That cat has since moved in with the neighbors across the street and we have a female cat that prefers to just kill mice and whatever bugs sneak in the house instead of playing with them. A much better arrangement for me. Hope your dogs adjust well to the new house.</p> Just remember to rest your writing hand for the closing. Hope it comes along soon.

I am always amazed at how many boxes the kitchen stuff needs, although at my next move I am going to need to upgrade stash boxes, too. Best of luck with your move!</p> The bit you wrote about the stash made me grin.

We knitters who can eyeball a three inch ribbing, know when to turn a heel, and feel how much yarn we need for a project can underestimate the space needed for our "surplus." I was going to recommend an afterthought heel too. Glad to hear the house is moving along, albeit slowly!</p> Isn’t it funny how stash is excluded from our ability to judge space.

We are thankfully past all the financing & what not (it really helps when your FIL is a major player at US Bank) but we did just spend the last two weeks cleaning (omg filth!) painting and trying in vain to have the carpets come back to some shade of white (as tiling is out of the budget at the moment). I feel your moving pain!</p> <p>How do you have the most beautiful dog children ever? They are beautiful :D What kind of dogs are they? I think it was very kind that Dallas only wanted the heel, probably the easiest part to fix. I have no advice on how to do it, but I hope you post a tutorial when you have it all worked out :D</p> I feel ya on the house front.
