    Being half German shepherd and half Gordon setter, she does of course master both techniques, knitting continental usually and reverse English style when knitting backwards.

    Great dog!

    And I'm sure the socks will be prety good, too.

    My dog lays down in the middle of my wife's sewing projects. I guess this is to protest all the attention he isn't getting.
