You know what they say…

You know what they say about everybody having a twin? While in Maryland, Chuck comes running into the house one morning.

Come here. I don't know how it happened! he said frantically.

What happened? I'm imagining a broken into rental car.

I don't know how she got here.

How who got here?

We're 3000 miles from home, but Gracee's outside.

I guess the twin thing applies to dogs, too. They looked and acted amazingly alike. Here they are, first our friends' neighbour's Lucy and then our Gracee. Lucy, Gracee, Lucy, Gracee:

Apparently knitting projects also have a twin, this time the fraternal twin (soon to be tripleted 😉 ) of the project in my previous post:

LG Shrug

LG Shrug back

Pattern: Little Girl's Shrug (Knitting Pure and Simple)

Yarn: one skein of Rowan Calmer – I hear you either love or hate this yarn. I love it, especially so since it was on clearance.

Needles: US Size 8 and 6

Modifications: made the lace portion a bit longer.

    How about triplets? I was at a doggie get together last week and saw a little white Scottie. It so reminded me of Gracee. The little sweater twin is lovely. I definitely need to make these for the girls.

    Gracee looks very well. Lucy looks to be a younger dog, but Gracee looks good. What is she – 8 or so?

    I love the little shrug… seeing you knit two has just inspired me to order the pattern myself!

    Hello- discovered your ribbed herringbone scarf pattern while searching for a new project on Ravelry. I’d love a copy if you would email it to me. Thanks for sharing it.
