And you have so many other talents with yarn my dear, as in "spinning yarns" -- the gift of storytelling is justly your's and I give a chuckle every time I ready one of your posts (I went through as many as I could last nite before I headed off to bed). I love your challenge. In fact, I decided some time back that I would never give a gift without including something homemade. So many people don't use the talents they have.

And what do you do to Little Olive to stop her from chewing and shredding anything textile? It is a question I have pondered before, and I feel sadly inadequate at the thought that I could never post photos of the unspeakably muddy and torn rags that masquerade as dog beds in my little cottage.<br /><br />And I can only aspire to crochet of any sort, ripply frisbee or not, in my dreams.
