Unconditional Love

Aaack. Mr. K is a political junkie. Too much political caterwauling makes Mimi an unhappy girl.  Please! Fill my world with happy things like faithful pets, or these best-of-all-worlds knitted pets from "Knit Your Own Dog: Easy-to-Follow Patterns for 25 Pedigree Pooches". Talk about unconditional love! Not that I knit. But I heart these projects by Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne.

Buy the book, notebooks (!), patterns or kits at knityourowndog.com.

Muir and Osborne also have "a small stock of made up dogs from the book. They cost £69 to £79 depending on the breed." A totally fun and thoughtful gift, hint, hint. They also offer "a highly exclusive knitted dog portraiture service – for £200 we will knit your dog."

I feel better already.
