The Best Laid Plans...

Today didn't go exactly as planned.  Actually, it didn't go at all as planned. 

It rained.

All day.

And rain was not in my plan!

The wet weather meant my trip to the allotment was postponed, hopefully tomorrow will be better weather for digging over the ground and getting rid of roots.

Dennis begins...

So today I decided to work on Dennis the Dragon instead.  He's named Dennis because my mum swears she used to read a book to me called Dennis the Dragon and that I used to love it.  She even googled it to prove it existed because neither me or my dad could remember it. Even faced with this proof we still can't remember it though.

Anyway, Dennis is my second knitting project.  The first was a cardigan that is currently being sported by my bag, Larry the Lemur.  I don't think he's that keen on it, cardigans are not good for a lemurs street cred.

I have to say, I'm quite proud of how Dennis is turning out considering before I'd knitted the cardigan I didn't even understand how to read a pattern, or how to increase/decrease/knit/purl etc...

Dennis so far.

At the moment I have another wing, another leg, his claws and the tip of his tail left to make.  He's a bit wonky (his arms aren't even and one of his ears flops a bit) but I think that adds to his charm :)

With any luck I'll be working on the allotment tomorrow but if not I'll hopefully be able to finish Dennis!  Once he's done I'll get some good photos.
