What's on my hook: Blooming dog petal collar

I found this pattern on Ravelry (it's free from redheart.com) and I couldn't help myself. I'm sure the dogs had their own opinion about such a monstrosity, plus their expectations of me probably dropped substantially.







I also made this basket for my work cubicle. As pathetic as it sounds, I'm hoping it might be a conversation starter so I can maybe make a friend around here? Yup, I'm a dork.
