Throughout my swatching for Marina I’ve left my box of yarn on the floor. I came in yesterday evening to find five skeins of Jamieson and Smith is various stages of shreddedness. It’s funny how the 15-year-old boy, who hardly cares enough for the dog to ever take care of her, can come to her defense when mother is ready to kill her. "It’s not her fault," says he, "you left the stuff out (where has he heard that before) and besides it looks like the "Budda Bone" (a tightly wound bundle of thin string having the effect of doggie dental floss when chewed) she had when she was a puppy; she thought you left her a box of new toys." Luckily second daughter came in at that moment and elected to bail the dog out by offering to re-wind the mass of woolen spaghetti strewn about the living room. Three hours later, what was once five skeins was now ten of varying sizes – all usable. I’m impressed how families can band together in times of knitting crises.

You’re a better woman that I using the words “funny” and “Jamieson and Smith is various stages of shreddedness” in the same sentence!

At what point were you ready to yell, “Have you ever heard of Shake and Bake?” (‘a furry, disgusting, yet comforting question.)

You might want to ask Cari over at Dogs Steal Yarn if you can borrow her site name for a while.

Wow! you are a better woman than I! I would be pretty upset! I don’t think I would have the patience to untangle that mess, nor would anyone in my family volunteer to do so! Do you remember the Disney movie “The Ugly Daschund” when they get into yarn?!

What is it about pets and yarn? Is it b/c they don’t want us to have anything to pay attn to besides them? Thank goodness your kids intervened!

One day, I came home to find that my little doggie had unwound a ball of angora yarn. I wanted to kill him. But that face kept me from doing that 😀
