Eye Candy: Good Boy, Bob.
July 11th, 2017
Today’s Eye Candy is inspired by some sad news that is important to share with the Ravelry community. Sweet Bob, Ravelry’s lovable Boston Terrier mascot and loyal dog of our site’s founders, Jess and Casey, died yesterday, peacefully at home with his people, after being sick for some time. Bob was the best kind of dog – goofy, cuddly, a little bit snorty, and very playful, and he’s going to be missed very much. Today, in his honor, I thought I would share a little assortment of projects that reminded me of Bob.
There are Boston Terriers, of course – Lyndilitz’s Boston Terrier, JennaWingate’s Turbo Portrait Blankie, and hookedbyangel’s Boston Terrier Cup Cozy.
Here is Bob and Small Bob – a cute wee puppet made for Jess & Casey by the nice folks at Malabrigo Yarn. (They have a free pattern if you want your own Small Bob!)
Bob’s “thing” was balls and he would happily play with any ball at any time. These gorgeous yarn-y ones would be too delicate to be toys for an enthusiastic terrier, but they sure are cute: crochetbug’s Peace Sign Crochet Soccer Ball, amazonchyk’s Earth amigurumi, and lepemalestvari’s striped ball.
All of these projects make me smile, but I also want to say to Jess and Casey that people around the world are so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to lose a furry family member, but we thank you for sharing Bob with all of us throughout the years!
And Bob: you were always a good boy.
