Zoey Has A Wardrobe

I finally got an opportunity to take pics of Zoey in her new sweaters that I've knit for her.

Sweater 1



Pattern: Dogosaurus Rex by Patons
Made For: Zoey

Size: Large

Yarn: Universal Yarn Uptown Worsted
Content: 100% Acrylic
Color: 311 Cherry

Needles: Circular size 5 and 6

Started: December 4, 2017
Finished: December 30, 2017

Comment: I used the Dogosaurus Rex pattern but didn't put the spikes on the sweater. The booklet this pattern is in, titled Another Dogs Life, is out of print. I found it on Ebay.

As with any dog sweater pattern, adjustments have to be made because no two dogs have the same size and shape of body. I made adjustments so it would fit her.

Zoey LOVES the sweater. She was so excited the first time I put it on her. She knows it's hers, and she believes she's gorgeous in it. I agree with her.



It is the first dog I've met that actually enjoys wearing a sweater.



I'm so glad I made it for her.



Sweater 2

Size: Large

Yarn: Red Heart Shimmer
Content: 97% Acrylic, 3% Metallic
Color: Kaboodle
Yarn: Universal Yarn Uptown Worsted
Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: Baby Pink

Needles: Circular size 5 and 6

Started: December 30, 2017

Comment: First of all, I decided to try my hand at knitting this in the round, instead of flat. It took some figuring, but I managed to do it and I really prefer it. I shall do it in the round from now on. I love the Shimmer yarn. It softened up very nicely after washing, and knit well. Though it doesn't show in the pictures, there's a shiny gold thread in the yarn.



Zoey looks especially good in pink.



She makes a good model too. Loves to mug for the camera.



Lets go play in the filthy snow!



Doncha just want to snorgle that face?



I dug in my stash and found the perfect yarns for another Zoey sweater. Woo hoo!

Live long and prosper. \\//

First Finish of 2019

Image
Someone gave me some sock yarn a couple weeks ago so I decided to use some of it to make a pair of socks for the son-in-law Frank. His birthday is coming up in a few days. The yarn is actually more of a gray blue, but the camera would not cooperate. I'm just glad it was light enough outside to take pictures. It feels like this has been the darkest winter ever. It actually hasn't, but it feels like it. Decorative Rib Socks for Frank Pattern : Didn't use one Size : Mens size Medium Yarn : Regia 6-fädig Content : 75% Superwash Wool/25% Nylon, sport weight Color : Denim Needles : Circulars size 3 Started:  January 6, 2019 Finished : January 16, 2019 Comments : I used a stitch pattern I found in Charlene Schurch's book Sensational Knitted Socks It's a very easy stitch pattern and looks so pretty. I need to get these in the mail tomorrow. Live long and prosper. \\//

2016 Knitting In Review

Image
I was going to make a little collage of all the things I knitted last year and post it here with a review, but when I sat down and really looked at my Ravelry notebook, I discovered a collage is not going to work. I knit 73 individual projects in 2016. I am  gobsmacked ! Admittedly most all of them were small projects, but still...73! I have never knit that much in one year before, and I thought all year I wasn't knitting very much. Fooled myself, didn't I?  There will only be pics of my favorites. So, of those 73 projects, I made 12 layette sets (4 pieces each equals 48) for KnitWits. This one is my favorite. I also made 3 pairs of mittens and 1 pair of fingerless mitts, 1pair of socks, 2 adult hats, 14 doll outfits, and 4 doll hats. You'll find pics of everything but 3 of the doll hats on my  2016 Finished Knitting  page. I don't know if I'll be able to put out that much this year. I guess I'll find out. I am planning on doing more color stranded knitting for
