The corgis are knitting a leaf lace shawl

They started knitting it together, taking turns the day their Corgimom purchased Katia Granada yarn on sale. They were thrilled with her new purchase and jumped and danced with glee.

That night they set out on the new challenge- lace knitting in the form of a shawl. After some discussion, the corgis decided to knit it as a surprise for their dear Corgimom. They intended to keep it a secret from her, but had to spill the beans when they botched the pattern. It was a little botching, well sort of. It was noticeable, and regretfully so. They talked together and decided the best thing would be to let Corgimom know. Like the three little kittens who lost their mittens, they were very sad, but wanted to knit their best on the shawl.

Corgimom looked at the shawl for a long time, pondering the dilemma. Finally, she decided it was time for the little dogs to go on a field trip. So they piled into Electra, Corgimom's electric blue Neon safely restrained in their crates and settled down for the short trip to a nearby park.

At the park Corgimom let her little corgi babies out of their crates once they were on their leashes, (and Corgimom put some plastic bags in her pocket, just in case) and the little dogs tentatively ran around at the end of their leashes. Corgimom and the dogs set out on a brief walk through the park, in the trees, until they came to a clearing in the woods. The little corgis were squeaking with glee when they heard the echoing ribbits around them.

Corgimom had led them to a frog pond! This would have been fun had they been waterdogs, but the little corgis remained on dry ground while Corgimom had them go into a down-stay for the explanation.

You see little dogs, when the knitting gets messy, and it will for as long as you knit, (that's ok, and its inevitable) we can all come down to the frog pond together. I will keep you company and pet your fur as you do the deed of ripping or ribbiting out the mistaken stitches. Once they're removed you can start back up again. Don't worry if you find yourself here often, just know that you are making progress and learning some excellent lessons about life.
