Starting the New Year off right

Has this ever happened to you?
All the snarled pile on the counter was once neatly wrapped on the cone on the right.  Before we left on vacation, I'd taken a few cones of yarn off the shelves to get an idea of grists and plan out a weaving project for the new year.  Apparently, this was the cone I spent the most time holding, as it was the cone Plato proceeded to carry around with him and lay on for the next two weeks.  Look closely and you'll see a liberal sprinkling of bristly tan terrier hair, adding to the general dishevelment.  Yes, I knew he had separation anxiety, but he's never gone for coned yarn before.  I'm taking votes on whether I should scrap it now or spend a few hours trying to salvage it first, as a more lasting reminder of why we never leave anything in this dog's reach.  On the plus side, he didn't eat a couch this trip.

Updates soon on the knitting front, I promise.  At least till classes start again Tuesday, I've got time on my hands!

Gosh I'm glad your dog is ok, it would have been terrible would he have started to eat it!! Hmm, I think I would just scrap it or take it as filling for something that you want to stuff (a dog toy for instance..), looks like too much trouble to untangle it all.

Send it to Shirley Marshall post haste! :>) She loves to untangle stuff.

[Linda :-) :-)]

How much do you love it?

This is in the life-is-too-short category. Scrap it.

In the midst of chaos, this is one of my compulsions--I would untangle it. It might not be as bad as it looks! I once had a cat who got into my bag of leftover yarns and proceeded to wind them all around all the furniture in my apartment--10 years later I finally got rid of the last bits that even I couldn't untangle!
