we have a dog. she sheds a lot. we run roomba pretty regularly and it's always full. when we vacuum, we can get farther than one room at a time without having to empty the canister. when the dog gets brushed, there are literally multiple handfuls of hair that go into the trashcan. basically, there are immense amount of dog hair that the dog is no longer using. so much in fact, that i have often wondered what possible uses their might be for such large amounts of fur.

attic insulation (brown dog?)

maybe we could find some dogs on chemo we could donate it to?

a hair helmet?

or maybe, after i finish the scarf i starting knitting 5 months ago that is nearly halfway done, i can make a dog hair sweater! (for sale at amazon.com for only $13.67!)

edit: i think i should make a sweater for nana out of nana's shedded fur or is that somehow wrong?

last remaining problem solved / you can find it on the internet - part 2

recently i received my order from http://www.discontinuedbrandnameyarn.com so i could continue working on my replica of the kremlin. mostly, i like to work on it at night lying in bed, right before i go to sleep. i find that knitting helps me relax. the only problem is, laura likes to go to sleep before me and if you're a knitter like me, you know it's damn near impossible to knit in the dark. but fear not fellow weavers, stitchers and needlers, there is a solution. the knit lite, brought to you by widget products.

about three months ago i started knitting a scale replica of the kremilin from some very high quality, name brand yarn. unfortunately, i ran out about 2/3rd of the way through. i checked my LCS (local craft store for you non-knitters) and found that the particular yarn i need to complete the gold dome on the roof of the kremlin was discontinued. i was concerned that i might have to use some inferior, generic yarn, but thankfully no. just when i was about to give up hope, just when i thought i would have to use some run-of-the-mill yellow yarn, just when i thought i was the only one in the market for discontinued, brand name yarn, i stumbled across this website: http://www.discontinuedbrandnameyarn.com

thank you google.
