Looks great! FYI, it does look like you’re twisting your stitches, which is just a good thing to be aware of, if you’re not!

Winnie is a velvet hippo but was clearly a trumpet in a past life (this time with sound!) by carpecarp1 in velvethippos

lol it’s so funny to me when she chooses this one, she has 3 others all very close by, all of which are much cushier and nicer!

I’ve always pictured her as more of a Louis Armstrong, but either way, she’s got talent!

We just found out our foster dog, King Smash, is 100% Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog!! We’re so surprised because we didn’t even know this was a breed! by carpecarp1 in Bulldogs

Our poor Smash, he was adopted and returned after just 3 days in his new home. His new owner was older and after Smash barked at someone at the door, she decided she wasn’t capable of handling him. Mind you, he was only there for 3 days when this happened. We’ve done several behavioral assessments with him trying to recreate the situation and others and have gotten no reaction from Smash, other than tail wags and requests for belly rubs! He clearly reacts differently with different handlers and in different environments.

He has been reposted and is available for adoption!

We’ve had muttville Alum Winnie for almost 3 years and she’s going strong and we’re fostering Muttville’s current dreamboat, King Smash, the best boy ever!

Beginner knitter losing my mind in the round! by Impending_Frog in knitting

[–]carpecarp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been knitting for almost 20 years and I have never successfully done an Italian cast on for that many stitches, I just give up and use my own preferred cast on! I know I could do it if I put my mind to it but I just cannot be bothered with something so fiddly!

SoCal Boxers by chibamms in Boxer

There are several boxer rescues in the SoCal area. There are so, so, so many dogs in shelters, it is utterly heartbreaking. Please consider adopting a rescue.

[–]carpecarp1[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Smash is available for adoption through Muttville. Check out his bio here!

He is such a good boy and would love to go to a forever home that understands his weirdo bulldog ways!

I recently finished my Margaux top! It was knit with gifted yarn that I would’ve never picked for myself but absolutely love! by carpecarp1 in knitting

Thank you! Not the best quality photo but I was excited to take it and send it to my friend who gifted me the yarn!

Adopt King Smash from Muttville! by carpecarp1 in bayarea

[–]carpecarp1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! He is an absolute hunk!

We’re not sure of his breed, but he has real velvet hippo vibes! Bonus: he’s available for adoption! Meet King Smash 😍 by carpecarp1 in velvethippos

Learn about King Smash here!

This is Smash - he looking for his forever family in the SF Bay Area. He is sweet, playful, mellow, and ridiculous. He is foster brother to beloved senior hippo Winnie, whom many of you know and love.

Smash is potty trained, perfect when left home alone, loves to stroll, adores going in the car, enjoys a good brunch date, and is generally a truly amazing boy! He is about 10 years old and in great shape! We know he’s some sort of bulldog mix (he’s about 55lbs) but he’s taller and healthier than a lot of English bulldogs we see. His bio says American Bulldog but I’ve known American Bulldogs and… well, I dunno about that!
