Better late than never is my photos from Friday night with friends. I chose to finish off a sock I was knitting for our dog Tess. Long story short is she has allergies and has ended up with a huge ulcer in her eye as it was scratched etc. So there is a reason for the cute cotton socks that will be attached by elastic over her shoulders with a smaller elastic loop which will slip on her collar to hold it all up lol.
At the moment there are no pics of her modelling them as she is not looking too photogenic with a cone on her head and a button for an eye while the real one is stitched closed to aid in healing. This time antibiotics and ointment were not enough so we are spending BIG at the vets with 3 visits in 10 days and a checkup again on Tuesday to see how it is all progressing. Thank goodness we took out pet insurance as I know that when it is all cleared up and finished with I will get 80% back in about 10 days.
The other pic is of another crocheted cloth which was almost finished and a little bit of spinning got done too to finish off a bobbin.
Well not too bad for a Friday night! Might go and visit a few of the other ladies blogs now as it is too hot to do much else. Oh well looks like summer has come back after the last 5-10 days being quite reasonable really.

Hello Katherine, I loved seeing your brilliant idea of socks for pooch...Kind Regards, Ofaigh
Your pooch will love you for the great socks...
Tess is lucky to be getting socks, hope they help with the allergies and that the eye improves; ow! Love the bobbin, so pretty.
Would love to see a pic of those socks in action, hope Tess's eye is feeling better real soon :) Barb.
Hi Katherine - oh your poor wallet! Yay for having the insurance. And of course poor little Tess, I hope she doesn't make a mess of your clever sock for her!
Poor doggie! Hope she's happy and healthy again soon. I like your bobbin winder (?).
Poor Tess...but what a great idea to knit those socks to prevent too much scratching. I hope the little lady is feeling (and looking) a lot better soon as it certainly sounds like she has been 'in the wars' !
Hi Katherine. Great work on Tess' socks... hope she heals quickly. Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog xx
Poor Tess! I hope she is feeling better soon. How does she like her socks?
I hope those cute socks help your poor pooch. My girls made ear socks for a goat once but that was for fun, not necessity! Love the colour wool you are spinning.
Poor doggie, she'll has so nice socks to wear while healing.
Your poor dog, I hope she is better soon...love the socks idea...your crochet is lovely and the wool on the bobbin is beautiful!
The socks look great before you introduce the dog element - I imagine that does not improve the look of the socks! Well done you for working out the socks - maybe there is a market for these! Another hot week coming up here. We've had a fairly good run so I am not speaking too loudly.
Poor little Tess, no wonder she isn't feeling at all photogenic! Hope everything is healing up nicely.
Here the husky dogs wear booties in the winter to protect their feet from freezing. Your pups socks look pretty cozy compared to those which are made out of canvas and have velcro to wrap them on the paws tightly. What a good idea medical insurance for your dog was!
Cute socks - I wonder what she will think of them :-)
I am thinking of socks for my dog, too, she doesn't like icy roads.It's cold here :)
