knitter's best friend
I couldn’t resist this story appearing in the Financial Times, especially given cujo’s anthropomorphic behavior, see photo of him and me below.
MOSCOW’S STRAY DOGS By Susanne Stern
"Russians can go nutty when it comes to dogs. Consider the incident a few years ago that involved Yulia Romanova, a 22-year-old model. On a winter evening, Romanova was returning with her beloved Staffordshire terrier from a visit to a designer who specialises in kitting out canine Muscovites in the latest fashions. The terrier was sporting a new green camouflage jacket as he walked with his owner through the crowded Mendeleyevskaya metro station. There they encountered Malchik, a black stray who had made the station his home, guarding it against drunks and other dogs. Malchik barked at the pair, defending his territory. But instead of walking away, Romanova reached into her pink rucksack, pulled out a kitchen knife and, in front of rush-hour commuters, stabbed Malchik to death." see
Doesn’t this totally inspire one to knit for man/woman’s best friend? Susan Duckworth, after leaving Rowan, designed for shops such as Whistles and Browns. She recalls her earliest commissions, one for a seven foot footballer and “another was for a dog - a tiny, pampered Yorkshire terrier that lived in Eaton Square. I made it a richly embossed padded and beaded winter jacket - but at the first fitting the poor creature collapsed under the weight!”
25 hours of minimalism
25 Hours Hotel joins the new minimal hotels trend in Germany and the Nordic countries. Located next to the Gastwerk Hotel in Hamburg, a converted gas works, both hotels converted industrial spaces into wonderful hotels. This trend, in Germany, includes the group, Motel One, which have infinitely smaller rooms, unless requesting the business class room, which does have an excess of three meters on each side of the bed, not that it really matters, when one is traveling alone. Motel One bathrooms are the best, sleek, stone floors or marble, great toiletries, which I never use for environmental reasons, rather re-fill my own lightweight containers
