This week’s #crochet square: Sidney. We went to the Humane Society and picked up the oldest pup there. Sidney is 13 yrs old, blind and deaf, weighing in at 7 lbs. So the square is black & gold (Sidney), red for the pain he’s suffered, blue for surrounding love we give that good little boy.

This week’s #crochet square: Last of the Fall Leaves & Rain. I think this reflects the sadness of losing my little Ricky. The house is so quiet.

Completed 7 rows…yea! The gray squares at the top are the weeks before I began. Very colorful despite the gray. Only 2 more rows and 4 corners to go.

This week’s #crochet square: Ricky. I’ve put away his toys, blankets, food and water bowls. Still waiting to hear his tippy-tappy as he comes down the hall.
This square was so hard to do, but it looks how I feel this week.

Ricky’s Song
Mr. Cowdoggie,
we ride the range,
we sing LaGrange (how how how), people think we’re strange.
Mr. Cowdoggie,
you’re the one for me,
my sweet Puppy,
little RickyBobby.

My darling 19-yr old pup, RickyBobby, is nearing his end. Breaks my heart. He’s the last of the “three musketeers”. Because of my age, Sweet Ricky will be my last dog. Huge emptiness for me, but he’ll be reunited w/Lucy & Sammy. & one day, I‘ll see them all again & will receive all the dog smooches.

This week’s #crochet square: Donuts Not Deployment, a square for peace in Portland should troops/National Guard invade. Working on my lettering and the 3-D donut looks good enough to eat.

This week’s #crochet square: Fall Leaf. Outside my living room window, I’ve been watching the leaves on the tree turn orange and yellow. Love this time of the year.

Coming up on the end of #weaving my birthday scarf. The yarn is “Velvet” from Bad Sheep Yarn and is 75/20/5% SW Merino/Nylon/Stellina. I just love this color. A joy to weave!

This week’s #crochet square: Free Speech. Seems more important than ever to exercise our First Amendment rights and stand up to presidential tyranny.

This week’s #crochet square: Whale Watching. Stayed overnight at Port Angeles for my birthday. Read it was a good place for whale watching. This is my version of Narwhal School from excellent book, The Hooktionary. I had to start over 8 times & it’s a little bumpy, but I declared it done. Happy 73!

Every birthday I #weave a scarf. Nothing fancy, mostly plain weave. This year “Velvet,” 2 skeins from Bad Sheep Yarn (one plain, one with sparkle).
Honey got me a set of purple Streamlined Furls for my birthday. Yes, I’m in Crochet Heaven!

This week’s #crochet square: August Heatwave. 100 degrees today. Working on my 4th border of my afghan. Once that’s done, I’ll begin attaching the borders to the squares that have been completed. Whew! A lot of work.

This week’s #crochet square: No Natl Guard in DC. I try to learn something new with each square. Crochet Secrets by The Knotty Boss has been great. Learned how to make neat stripes and tidy edges this week. A work-in-progress.
