Remember this
hand-dyed fiber and
yarn?

First bobbin
400 yds Light Fingering WtIt was working up beautifully on my trusty 2.25mm dpns.
Bone Dry sock"was working up beautifully..."After a quick trip to the store, we came back to a distressing sight (which actually looked worse before I gathered it up for the photo). My heart sank.
Uh ohHere's the culprit.
AriesHe's a good dog but I had no idea he was so interested in knitting. He took the project out of the ziploc bag, removed all the needles, broke 3 of them and put teeth marks in the other two. Losing the needles was a drag since I don't have another set with me, but even more upsetting was seeing all that lovely handspun in disarray.
We're visiting family so I called yarn stores in the area to see who might have some replacement needles and lucked out--one store in the area had #1 dpns and they happened to be Lantern Moon Rosewood. The dog owner purchased them for me. I told her that wasn't necessary since I should have put the knitting away, but she insisted.
Replacement needlesI'm happy to report that the yarn is rewound and wasn't damaged much--there was one broken ply and it wasn't horribly tangled.
Back in the saddleWhew, that could have been much worse. Lesson learned.
