Mixture of Emotions

The past few days was really hot and humid. Right now, it’s still about 28 degrees Celcius. I think I’m going to sleep in the living room tonight with the air-con on. Anyway, since summer is still here, I thought I’d knit another top so that I can wear it out and I managed to finish it within less than two weeks too!!

Summertime Tunic

Too Big?

Sadly, as you can see, it seems a little too big on me, although my gauge was spot on and I knitted the smallest size too!! Oh well, I’ve decided to give this to her (lucky her!!! :evil: ) and I’ll probably make another one for myself, maybe next year. Also, this is my first time knitting with Debbie Bliss Cotton DK. However, I don’t think I’ll be buying this yarn next time. I found two knots in a ball, in at least two balls and some have at least a knot. Not happy at all.

Pattern: Summertime Tunic from Interweave Knits, Summer 2007
Yarn: 7 balls of Debbie Bliss Cotton DK
Needles: 3.5 mm and 4 mm

The Birthday Boy

On another note, it was Momo’s birthday on the 31st January. He turned four years old this year. Since it was a Thursday (night shopping), I thought I’d rushed home, feed them and go out quickly to get a nice present for him. I bought him a Kong Wubba toy and a pig’s ear as a treat. I was really in a happy mood until I reached home.

:evil: :evil: :evil: I found one of my shoes, the heel part was bitten. One of them spoilt my shoes. Aaarrrggghhh!!! I forgot to put my shoes in the cupboard because I was rushing to go out to get his presents!!! And worst of all, I’ve no idea who did it!! Who’s the naughty one!! Who’s the culprit? Momo or Coco? Both of them were hiding under the dining table. Both got spanked on their butts. Ignore them for the rest of the night. Was meant to celebrate his birthday. :mad: :mad: :mad: I was soooooo upset and angry at the same time.

Momo’s Pressies

Sigh :oops: I couldn’t really stay mad at them for long. Before I go to bed, I gave him his Kong Wubba, and he hug it to sleep.

    Happy Birthday Momo. Hasn’t he grown??? I am sure strange alien dogs broke in and ate your shoe and then locked the door when they left again. When Peri is naughty I ignore her and she leaps as high as she can to try and catch my eye: it is The Worst punishment of all, to be ignored. Peri is 6 and she is a good girl now. Harki is Always Good. Hope they enjoyed the treats!!!

    The top looks good on you, just a little long. Happy Birthday to Momo - I used to give my dogs ice cream on their birthdays.

    Happy Birthday to Momo!! The top is quite nice, I think it isn’t too small. It looks like the kinda of top that’s meant to be worn loosely. :)

    Aaw, that sucks about your shoes. :( My dog would do that too sometimes. Can you tell by the bitemarks? It would seem that your pug has smaller teeth than Momo?

    As I said in my e-mail, I like your tunic. :) I think it’s cute!

    Happy belated birthday to Momo :grin: anyway dogs are good at chewing on stuff, but at least your two cute little babies didn’t chew on furnitures! My aunt had a dog whom we joked to “get aroused with inanimate objects” since it gives obscene dry humps to stools! Yucks :razz:

    Hey anyway Happy Chinese New Year :) may you have a great year ahead with Tian, Momo and Coco!
