The dratted dog!

I have had no knitting oooomph for the past few days. I have mainly been living in my own head for the past few days.

I still need to finish the dog. Sarah-Louise's birthday has been and gone. I have started the body, but I need to finish it. Every night I say to myself I will work on it some more, but I am just too tired to do it in the evening.

I keep thinking about my dad's death. It really hurts that he has gone. I just wish that I had had a chance to say goodbye to him.

I've made myself a counter...

I have made myself the above counter because I am knitting Sarah-Louise a dog for her birthday. I never realised that I was such a slow knitter! Although, I have made the head, two right legs, one left leg, the ear backs and the tail. I am working on the other left leg. Then I just need to do the body, the paws, the ear fronts, the nose and the eyes. Way to make ones self feel better!

It is supposed to have a jacket, but that will take me an age to complete, so I may only make a collar.

I really don't want to write this...

On the 9th February my Dad passed away in Hospital. I don't really want to go into the details, as I have already typed it multiple times, but Blogger deleted it all.

I will write again soon.
