Crikey!! Wonders will never cease.
Mum's knitting!! Who knew she could knit???? I sure didn't. I didn't think she had any talents she was aware of. She's knitting me a coat for winter. How good is that?? Well .... we'll wait and see, aye?? I'm hard to fit. I've got a big, deep chest.
AND ..... I don't like acrylic. It gets all that static electricity stuff. Mum's using pure Aussie wool. Crikey ...... I wonder if she'll ever finish it. She keeps wishing I was a Chihuahua. Hahahahahahahaha!!
ME .... a chihuahua!!! Hahahahahahah!! Here's what it looks like so far
 |
| Getting there! She's only dropped two stitches so far. She found 'em though so no holes ..... YET!! |
 |
| This is what it's supposed to look like when finished. Mum's not putting the bauble things on it. Thank goodness for that, aye?? |
I sure hope I can parade it for you when it's finished.
IF it
EVER gets finished that is!!
Wanna run ... Love, Charlie.
Red is your color Charlie! You will look so dashing in it too! Oh dear.......... It's a good thing you can run fast to get away from all the sheilas!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to look so spiffy I'm not sure my heart can handle it. My mum has no talents and she knows better than to try. You'll be able to run warm.

PS. Rocky Joe says to say hi. He's still kind of snarly once in awhile but not to me anymore. He sure does love dad.
G'Day Charlie. CRIKEY... that is gonna look GRAND against your furs colors. We don't care fur the Baubles much either. You would look a bit like a stegosaurus. You are Lean and Lithe not big and lumbering.
ReplyDeleteOMD we can't wait to see more about how this goes.
No Worries.
We have our paws crossed for your mom and can't wait to see how it turns out. Our mom had difficulty shaping sweaters for both of us too.
ReplyDeleteIf your sweater ends up looking like the picture it will be fantastic

ReplyDeleteOMD a proper knitting pattern designed just for whippets? That is amazing and very dapper (minus the non-aero-dynamo-bobs). Here's hopin' fur ya mate... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Charlie, I don't think you can see colours very well, but I can assure you, the colour is very strong. Be assured, if we laugh when we see you in your coat, it is not directed at you.
ReplyDeleteOur Mom wishes she could knit. She can crochet most anything but she can't seem to manage those two needles. That sweater is going to be beautiful and so warm. Lucky Charlie.

Charlie, if she ever finishes it, you will be the best dressed dog in all of Oz. I have a deep chest too and mom says PetSmart needs to include size such as husky. When she buys me a shirt, she says I look like I'm wearing a size smedium. I tell her the shirt makes my muscles pop. BOL
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
C'mon give your mom the benefit of doubt. At least she's knitting you something (though I can't blame her for wishing you were a Chihuahua BOL)! My mom simply said she's glad we don't have winter here!!! Looking forward to your new sweater (^_^)
ReplyDeleteBowie
Wow, your mom is amazing! Be nice - she's trying to make you a super nice sweater! You'll love it when it's finished!
ReplyDeleteI love those hidden talents!! And SHE will get the last laugh when it's all done!! It'll be perfect, and you will be perfectly toasty and warm! :-)
ReplyDeleteCharlie that red will look good on you. It will keep you toasty this winter. North of the equator we looking forward for all the snow to go away.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it's for this year....bwahaahaa! We bet you'll just be a red blur in photos now.
ReplyDeleteyou have the bestest mama!!! and I can't wait to see her creation. you're right we pups with a deep chest can hardly find pawfect coats or sweaters...
ReplyDeleteWow -it's going to look STUNNING on you, Charlie! I can't wait to see you in it!
ReplyDeleteyou did tell her you only have 4 legs right :) :) :) we can imagine a coat with enough legs for a spider - chuckles
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, a coat knitted by your Mum's own paw!!!! That's a coat filled with luffs Charlie, can't wait to see you model in it. AND, I hope you read my post today, you may find a hint on how to help Mum with her project, hehe

I hope it turns out good!
ReplyDeleteWell Charlie you will look pretty smart in that and be warm in the winter as well, hope mum gets er done.
ReplyDeleteGood thing she is not putting the baubles on it. They would look silly on you!! Although, for Christmas?? Oh, hold on, that's your summer. Sorry, forgot!!

ReplyDeleteMerle...........

ReplyDeletebest wishes for your art of knitting friend
ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND BEST OF ALL MY MATEY CHARLIE
ReplyDeleteIT IS R E D!!!!!!
YOUR CHEST MIGHT BE DEEP BUT IT IS MOSTLY MANLY!
My mom once tried to teacher her hands to knit..but her hands were not trainable. She can crochet though. Please post photos when your talented mom has completed your jacket
Thank you for the lovely bday wishes and compliment. I guess most of my youthful look is owed to genetics. I was born gray.

It was pretty funny that you asked what was in our water. Just this week the city started doing some type 2 month process to our water. It hasn't bothered me 'cause I have a filter fountain but it does not agree with mom. #1 is smells funny and OMCs mom has a picky sniffer. Water out of the faucet used to be yummy but not now. Mom is gonna start drinking only water out of the fridge door which is filter.
Hugs madi your bffff
Oh, my, how funny. We can imagine your poor mom learning to knit for such a big dog. :)
ReplyDeleteCharlie that is going to be a simply splendid sweater. Gail and I are also both pure wool snobs - none of that artificial stuff for us - if it didn't come off a real sheep we're not wearing it!
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
What a lucky boy you are Charlie - a beautiful coat, knitted specially for you by your Mum !
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the photos of you wearing it.
Love,
Inca xx
Smart Mum! You'd better steer clear of shearing sheds, Charlie when you're wearing your new coat...if it gets finished, that is! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe think that sweater will be warm and toasty not only due to being all wool...but it will be made with tons f warm love. That will warm your heart, Charlie so you will be able to run like the wind and not be an icicle.
ReplyDeleteAnd taking off those baubles?? yup I think so too, BOL!
Oh dat red is yer color, Charlie... it's shure to look smashing on you!
