I've been blessed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Saturday I started the Pile-Able Pups from MochiMochi Land. I'm rejiggering the pattern for a completely different gauge, because I wanted to use a yarn that was wool-free, affordable (aka, found at the AC Moore I found myself at on Saturday) in an appropriately girly color. What I found was this Beehive Baby Sport yarn, which looked like a center pull ball.
It lied to me.
The center pull string was really somehow attached to the outside yet looped and twisted around the inside of the ball. Within minutes I had a stringy mess. Thankfully I was in a whimsical mood, and was mostly amused by my spaghetti nature.
I'm using this site to lazily recalculate all of the numbers for the pattern. Of course, I have a lot of knitting left to do and only today to get it done in. I always wish when I pull something last minute like this that I could knit faster or take time off from work, which is even sillier because I wouldn't necessarily get more done by staying home.
I have about 60 rows to finish before I can do the feet, tail and ears. I wonder how long it will take...
