he could star in his own cartoon~
By Sarah | July 11, 2012
Oxford. 11 month old Boston Terrier. Shoe thief, yarn destroyer, eye glass eater (Shopping for new glasses today as a matter of fact. I’m thinking I got 6sts to the inch on my Traveler swatch but a little hard to tell since my glasses are now toast) terrorizer (pun intended) of geese and all around, totally lovable and hysterical pup. The little buggy-eyed, flat faced, snorty nosed beast could be the star of his own cartoon.
It’s been a big week at the studio with the arrival Plucky Traveler and Plucky Sweater, and so soon on the heels of Bulky’s arrival! Which, means it is high time for a contest and some giveaways of the new bases.
That picture of Oxford is just begging for a caption! Leave your caption(s) in the comments section now through Sunday, July 15th. I’ll then randomly choose three winners – each winner receiving a skein of one of the new custom to Plucky bases.
Plucky Traveler – Travel Buff. 6sts/1″
Plucky Traveler 65.20.15 Merino Silk Yak. 310 yds. Sport Weight
Plucky Bulky – 100% Merino superwash. 135 yds

Orange has a taste! And fuzz.

No, no, the orange fuzz on my tongue is tennis ball fuzz. Definitely no relation to that missing skein. That was, errrr….. THE CAT!! We have one of those, right?

Ox thinking: Nice try of distracting me with orange ball; let’s make big, innocent ‘mommy, I love you & can do no harm eyes ‘ … as soon as she turns around and I go after her good stuff again & blame my older bro hehe
