I got a puppy! Brioche and mitt finishes and wips

 Not a lot of knitting has been done over the last few weeks as I got this cutie.

This is Gracie.   She is a cavoodle and I got her at 8 weeks,  she is now 11 weeks.  She is adorable but has so much energy I can barely keep up.  The photo above is when I picked her out of the litter and she was 7 weeks.  

This is her now, she has grown so  much 


Anyway on to knitting.  Before I got Gracie I finished a pair of mittens. 


These are Pieces of Home mitts, a free pattern on Ravelry. 

And finished this week is my brioche sweater.


This is Broadleaf by Wool and Pine.  It looks great, but was so slow to knit.  I think it's put me off brioche for a while.

Onto wips.  I frogged the Krumeluuri socks.  Again brioche just takes too long and I get bored.  So I cast on Morning Coffee from 52 weeks of socks 


These have 5 colours and are a great way to use up scraps. 

Also cast on are another pair of vanilla socks 


Another cast on is The Frank Shawl by Joji Locatelli 


The cozies memory blanket is seeing some progress


Hopefully  puppy will start quieting down soon and I can get more knitting in.
