Knitting Again

I used to be a knitter before I got Emme. When she was a puppy, she loved nothing more than the smell of wool yarn and every time I got out my knitting, she jumped up to grab the balls of yarn and the project I was working on. It became so difficult to try to protect my knitting from her that I just put it away.

A few weeks ago I got the urge to knit and bought a little kit to make a felted knit flower. The project was small and I wouldn't have large balls of wool by my chair. With some hesitation I got it out to begin to knit. Emme couldn't have been less interested. She didn't even come over to investigate my knitting. I finished the flower which is pictured above and got out another project. I am working on a felted bag called the French Market Basket using Noro self-striping yarn and it is really looking nice. Emme is not bothering me and I am enjoying knitting again.
