Patch

As soon as I got home yesterday with a fresh new hand itching to knit, I cast on for Patch. Patch is an ADORABLE little dog toy from Knits for Babies and Toddlers by Fiona McTague. I got the book from the library. I am very thankful for the Rio Grande Library System - they really accomodate knitters pretty well. I got the yarn for a dollar a ball from Wal Mart a year ago. It is the softest fuzziest brown yarn ever - perfect for making into a puppy dog for a little boy. I am super excited. I have already finished one back leg and the many increases and decreases make for an interesting but fast knit. It's gotta be fast! The little boy has a birthday party in just over a week!
