I have completed another beanie in Patons Jet this time as the size looks Ok.
Busy trying to study, and have to organise prizes for the next Schipperke Association
Show , being the tropy steward and it's next Sunday. What's a Schipperke - look to the right and note "the Nibbler" alias Wispaway Jiminy Cricket. Mostly known as Jim or Jimmy. The nibbler comes from when he's happy he likes to nibble really fast and soft. And yes the inspiration on what to call my blog. Won't be knitting him anything though, he's small but definitely not a lap dog type. He grows a lovely thick undercoat in winter. Schipps are known as the littlest shepherds and take their guarding duties very seriously. Also known as Belgian Barge dogs , as Belgian merchants used them for guarding and rodent catching on their barges in 1700's.
Oh they are usually great big sooks, who love a tummy scratch.
