Yes, I remember that cartoon! I am reminded of it every day! I’ve grown up to have that witch’s arse!

Gee whiz, I can’t get over the wonderful things you knit! I’m at an impasse; had to quit my lessons when it was so hot here, because I couldn’t stand the feel of wool on my hands. I’m sure I’d NEVER learn to knit if I lived in TX! Anyway, cable looks spectacularly, devilishly difficult!

Been meaning to ask: have you ever used soy silk???

Don’t tell your boys, but Ruby hasn’t had a bath in ages. I give her about one a year just on principle, but she really doesn’t need it. She never rolls in anything nasty, and dirt just dries up and falls off her. She doesn’t smell at all. Basenjis are the best! The only grooming required is nails.

I love Gretel! Darn you for linking to Ysolda though . . . I see several things I want to knit now.

You know, I too used to think of that cartoon until Zoolander. Now I think of Owen Wilson as “Hansel”

I love that hat. Cables are so very fabulously intricate-looking.

And of course, the dogs seem to look prettier now that they’re lavender-scented.

I LOVE this hat, and I adore the color you chose. I just purchased the same pattern…now I just need to find the perfect shade to use.

I loved the Gretel so much that I bought the pattern /right/ after reading your post!

Of course, now I’m worried that I won’t get the right gauge either. Should I just trust the needle size listed on the pattern?

Ok, first of all, I completely know the cartoon you’re talking about! It’s one of my faves. Second, your hat is adorable and looks fantastic on you. Thirdly, there’s just nothing sweeter than warm, clean fur. The boys are adorable!

Love the hat! I still need to lern how to do cables – people keep telling me they’re easy but I just haven’t been brave enough – maybe that beautiful hat would be the final inspiration:)I so admire your talent.
