whitestar knitting dogs and life on the high plains monday april 23 2007 it matters to all of us when the animal rights nazis came for the pit bulls i remained silent i did not own a pit bull when they outlawed the hobby breeders i remained silent i was not a hobby breeder when they abolished dog shows and performance events i did not speak out i was not a dog exhibitor when they came for me and my pets there was no one left to speak out d newell peta hsus and many other animal rights groups are trying to take away your rights to own pets it s starts with breed specific legislation already in place in many areas and then expands to the people who carefully and ethically breed only the best dogs to the best dogs with health and quality foremost in their intent you will be next help support the fight against anti dog legislation today visit this site and sign the petition now anne at 2 02 pm friday february 23 2007 life in colorado the sun is shining there is not a cloud in the sky it s supposed to be near 60 degrees today and there is a blizzard warning for tonight anne at 7 15 am thursday february 22 2007 in search of the perfect bag long time no post and when i finally do post it s non knitting content okay a little bit of knitting content the epic sweater see below is coming along nicely the body is done the neckband is done the button bands are done i m halfway down one sleeve maybe i ll post pictures someday the real purpose of this post is to moan about how i cannot find the perfect bag not a knitting bag not a purse but an all purpose whatever i need it to be bag to take with me to dog shows to carry all the miscellaneous stuff that needs to be carried safely and in style it must have some pockets but not useless pcckets i need pockets for cellphone ipod pda my small camera then it need to hold a whole mess of other stuff up to something the size of an average magazine maybe a book altoids mints dog leashes poop bags yes you read that right a bottle of water right now i use a stiff leather totebag but it only has one pocket it holds a lot but it s very disorganized the bag must have structure i e no floppy fabric bags it must be easily cleanable or at least not easily stainable it must be reasonably affordable under 200 if it was really erfect i might go higher no gloppy hardware or overdone topstitching no big buckles not heavy zippers all over the place it must be pretty pink would be perfect i m not asking for much am i i have not seen anything online or in the stores that even comes close i love a lot of the dooney and bourke bags but they have no or very few pockets i looked at carry on luggage too big and the fabrics are usually icky any suggestions leave a comment anne at 9 10 am tuesday january 02 2007 epic knitting in addition to this being the year of knit from my stash it s also going to be a year of epic knitting i plan on starting two projects that will probably take all year or more to finish epic projects the first is the knit picks fair isle cardigan some friends and i are going to embark on this project together i know it s not a very complex fair isle design but in the past i ve always managed to get about 3 inches done on the various jamieson and starmore fair isles i ve started and then just kind of fizzled out bored with the little needles not interested to pay so much attention to my knitting why does lace not bore me then so for me this is an epic project second is this yup it s a full length dressing gown from romantic style it s why i bought those 20 balls of kid classic recently god knows if i ll ever actually wear it but i want it epic knitting rules 1 the only new projects i can start for the first 3 months of 2007 are my designated epic projects 2 i need to finish 3 works in progress before i start another new project 3 when i can start a new project it must be epic in nature 3b epic is defined as a project i believe would take me more time than i usually have the patience for i know i ve knit lots of lace shawls in the past which many consider epic but lately i ve been suffering from some form of knitter s add and have not completed one in over a year 4 socks don t count because one must always have socks on the needles speaking of epic knitting check out this beautiful blanket made by the scarlet knitter spindle lust have you seen these sigh anne at 4 23 pm monday january 01 2007 how much snow what people who don t live in blizzard country often don t know is that it s not about how much snow it s about how much wind 12 inches of gently falling snow lying softly on the ground doesn t make a blizzard a few inches of snow being driven horizontally across the open plains by 50 mph hours winds that is what makes a blizzard and so i offer up these pictures the first is of my side yard taken not after any melting has occurred but right after the storm subsided the gate behind the snow is 5 feet tall how much snow do you think i have why yes that is bare dirt on the right side of the picture and here is a picture of my front door my kennel runs are made up of 6 foot high panels when i complained about not being able to use my kennels a friend asked why i didn t dig them out and the answer is my poor dogs are on house arrest they are used to having multiple acres to run why can t they go out see the red arrow in the picture below it s pointing at the top of my 5 foot fence i have a ford f 250 4 x 4 super duty truck it s big there are three ways to get out of my neighborhood do i get snowed in during blizzards you be the judge one two three a neighbor starts to dig out his garage this is where he stores his motorhome the door is 10 feet tall another neighbor doesn t even want to contemplate what digging out is going t take happy new year everyone anne at 9 25 am saturday december 30 2006 out the back door saturday click for big anne at 10 09 pm thursday december 28 2006 where leisel and la asked where i made my great
