I&#8217;d taken my knitting out but it was lounging forgotten on the pattern amidst the green grass while I reclined on a football blanket&#8230;and Sydney was milling around sniffing for truffles or some such thing when I hear, &#8220;your yarn!&#8221; from The Husband. It seems Sydney had been eating a bit of grass and had mistaken my yarn for yummy blades. Thankfully, the yarn was not broken and appeared none the worse for wear other than being slimed. She had quickly realized that it did not taste like the salad she was after. I laughed and took it in to the house to soak that section in some water and eucalan. I ended up having to manually wipe the dog slobber off the yarn, but it held up perfectly. Toe decreases done Sunday with dry yarn.<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5126.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5126-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_5126\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5126-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5126-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5126.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5125-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Leafy Sock\" title=\"IMG_5125\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5125-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5125-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5125.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>Second sock is in progress.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5135-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off\" title=\"Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5135-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5135-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5135.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve almost finished reading Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off (a Yarn Harlot book).
