Totally Frivolous

By Lorraine


Usually I am careful to use my time productively.  Today I spent an hour crocheting a scarf for my dog.  In a hounds-tooth pattern, of course.  Though it won’t keep him especially warm, he does look dapper in it.

 

 Little Ella likes this scarf too.

ahh… can we share?

Pattern by Claire@Crochet Spot.

    Raider looks rather dapper in his new scarf! Love the color on him. Think I'd better make one for my little Joey.

    Handsome and humble are how I would describe your obedient model. He is so cute, along with your little grand and your scarf is beautiful!

    I think that was a very productive hour. Raider looks quite handsome in his scarf. Believe it or not I was thinking of making a scarf for Duke also.
    Thanks for the mention. Much appreciated.
