After taking my "mini" sock class on Saturday I was so excited I didn't want to stop knitting!! I didn't get a chance to knit any following the class and decided to take my 
"mini" friend on a trip with me to Mississippi State University Sunday in hopes of completing my "sock education" and graduating on to a full size sock! Although I wasn't able to finish the sock I had high hopes of completing tonight!!UNFORTUNATELY Max had other thoughts!! Hard to see but he managed to pull out one needle, chewed one to a pulp and just generally made a mess.... he must have thought if he didn't actually look at me I would never know he was the one happily munching on the needle when I walked by!!!! I think the sock gods are against me!!!

Poor old Max, you left him all alone Sunday and he must have been mad at you.

Oh no! You must not ive up on the socks!!! You do seem to have had several setbacks though.
OH no! My Maggie, my sweetest 4-legged child LOVES knitting and needles! She's a bit of a clepto. She'll steal anything and take it outside and chew it awhile. I used to find balls of yarn outside but I think she's figured out finally that those are not hers.
It might not be a bad idea to make yourself a "sock bag" to stuff your needles and forthcoming sock into when they are not in motion.
But do not let this deter you from sock knitting!!!
Love your companion. My first scottie was "Mack, sometimes called "Max."

Max does look like a Scottie in this pic doesn't he? Actually he is a miniature schnauzer who doesn't realize he is a dog and can't knit!! LOL!! He's a high maintence kind of guy no doubt but we love him!!
I get that sort of abuse from the animals a lot. They like pull-skeins...
Good luck with socks. I had years of practice with worsted Xmas stockings on size 8 needles before I tackled size 1s and fingering. Hmmm, something about this photo is giving me deja vu... Like I see the same inside view for at least an hour each day.
I thought Max was a Scottie too.
Poor Max - he just wants to do what his human does!
Oh :( Sorry to see your sock met a gruesome end! Don't give up though! I found making a sock out of worsted weight yarn was great to learn on - then moved to 'sock yarn.'
Your doggie is cute, if very naughty!
