Handknit fingerless mitten, right hand version. The top and bottom cuffs are royal blue, and the palm is cream with a deep pink checkerboard pattern. The thumb is also royal blue.

Since everyone has been extremely kind about my #iknitarod project, here is a final race update. I only managed to complete one mitt, which is what I’ve expected for several days. Life, you know? But I’ll still forge ahead on mitt two. Thanks for encouraging and admiring. #UglyDogs #KnitSky

Navy blue shawl being knit- with neon stripes and lots of dog hair in it!

White with green, purple and pink speckled knit baby sweater

I knit the sweater for my friend’s baby with an eta of June. And working on the blue and neon striped shawl…as you can see, my husky has been “donating” some fur 😆 #uglydogs #iknitarod

How many #iknitarod peeps are here? Can you share your progress or projects? I can barely crochet, and I can’t knit to save my life, but I love looking at the creations. #UglyDogs

Handknit unfinished mitten with a royal blue cuff leading into a cream background with a deep pink dog and snow pattern on it.

Unfinished handknit mitten with a blue cuff leading into a pink and white checkerboard pattern. There is a hole on the right side of the hand with some stitches under it held on what looks like a giant safety pin.

Revised #iknitarod goal: finish this one fingerless mitten by red lantern. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Needs about eight more pattern rows and a thumb where that hole in the palm side is. How long do I have? 😂 #UglyDogs #AnAttemptWasMade #KnitSky

A handsome, shaggy, unimpressed black and white miniature schnauzer lays next to a knitting pattern with a dog motif on it. A blue cuff and inch of dark pink and white mitten hand are visible on some knitting needles, as are pink and white balls of yarn.

#iknitarod has been slow going for me, because work and life and I messed up the beginning of the pattern. But I finally made some forward progress on my fingerless mitten this weekend. My lead dog is unimpressed. #UglyDogs #KnitSky

Knitting chart showing a dog motif is pictured with the start of a mitt meant to be knit according to the pattern on top of it. The knit cuff is blue and the little bit of pattern is purple and white. The messy stitches are not shown.

I’ve barely started the colorwork section of my #iknitarod project and I’ve already fallen off the sled. Pattern and stitch count are off. I tried to fix it last night, but I think pulling back to the top of the cuff is probably faster at this point. #UglyDogs

Red Bravermountain 2020 tee with a hat pattern, purple and bright yellow yarn, and a knitting needle resting on it. From iknitarod 2020: Here Comes Covid.

#iknitarod? I mean, I know you have nothing but spare time. 😂
Haven’t started this year’s project since yarn is/was supposed to arrive today, but just wore the hat I make for QDitarod 2020 to walk my local dog. Pace yourself, Q has many in his corner! Rooting for all the Bravermountains! 2020 pic.

Yay! Looking forward to a distraction from so many tough personal, professional, and political challenges. Hope postal carrier brings my #iknitarod yarn today! #uglydogs

I'm tagging the #uglydogs in on this in case anyone who's an #iknitarod 🛷 knitter/crocheter is interested.
