A Face Like This

This little guy was parked outside my LYS yesterday:

And yes, he was more adorable in person because he was only 8″ high at the shoulder and very happy to get back scratches.  Normally I caution against petting strange pooches awaiting their owners, but he demanded attention with his stout blond gargoyle charm.

I replaced the aforementioned double pointed needles and spent a few minutes coveting buttons.  There are people out there doing some really fun things with buttons as accessories on sweaters, gloves, etc. and I’m thinking I should get in on some of that action.  Right now I’ve got a big fat crush on this pattern from knitty.com, but who knows when I’ll actually get around to making it.  Something about buying that many balls of yarn all at once makes me kind of queasy when you ring up the final price tag.  Plus I have no experience with bobbles.  And now I’m just making excuses. 

Keep dry out there kids.  The rain is back.
