Does anyone here knit???
does anyone here knit? Or crochet? I have been knitting on and off for years- always seem to pick up a project, go nuts with it, then put it down for a few months. My latest project is a sweater for Molly!
This is the free pattern (Lion Brand) but you need to "join" the website to view it. here's the picture of what it should look like. Except I am using tan and black yarn, so it almost looks like animal print!! Haha!

I used to crochet. My mom knit constantly. I can remember her knitting in the dark if the hydro went off. You could still hear the click click of the needles. In fact, for about 6 years or so that's how Mom made her living. She knit for other people. A sweater a day. Mom tried teaching me how to knit years ago but because I am left handed and she was right it was difficult. What a wonderful memory of my mom.
I can do the basic stitches in knitting. I haven't crotcheted in years. I keep thinking I should get back to it. Maybe that would be a good project to start with. Thanks mollywog!

wow, your mom must be fast with those needles! I will be happy if I can knit a sweater over the course of a YEAR!
yeah, you should try this pattern, its very easy- all in garter stitch (no purling required) and you just knit 2 pieces then sew them together. And there are different variations from size small to XLarge. I am knitting a Medium for Molly. I just hope it fits ok! I haven't knit in months and I actually forgot how to bind off! But there are tons of online video tutorials to get you back on track.

Yep... my grandma taught me... but I go so long between picking up the needles, I use a book to kick start myself again.... oh and I've been working on this scarf for about 12 years now.... it's about 8 inches long!!!!
That looks like one cute doggy sweater!

I have one for her. I made it when I thought I may be going to foster a Great Dane. I thought you had one. I will arrange to get it to you once I am back at work at the end of August. It is sitting in my office right now and the school is closed.

Thank-you so much for the pattern. I'm going to give it a try. My 2 have polar fleece jackets I sewed but I also do jackets for the SPCA. The knit or crocheted ones are great cause there is no velcro to scratch tender tummies.
Right now I'm crocheting an afghan. It's cream, beige and navy, done in stripes of various widths and any old stitch. If it turns out, I'll post a pic. Thanks again! |

Funny you should ask, I do both but haven't picked up yarn in years. Then two weeks ago the bug gets me and suddenly in the middle of summer I'm crocheting an afghan.
We have coats for the iggys and the mutt doesn't want one, but I think they'd love sweaters too. Think that pattern would work for an Italian greyhound? |

Mollywog, I knitted the smallest size and it turned out to be very easy and cute. I showed it to a friend of mine and it looked so cute on her dog so I gave it to her. Now I have to get more yarn and knit some for the shelter dogs. It's hot as heck here but in a few months the dogs will need a sweater. Thanks again for the pattern.

i crochet a little... or rather a lot but not very well. ive made several scarfs, a bunch of wash cloths (practicing finishing off and corners in rounds... that kind of thing) and a few hand towels and 2 baby blankets. the first one was horrible (but Jeffrey loves it) and the second was perfect (and Bryce loves it). right now im working out the details for a small practice simple granny square.... well, blanket-whatever-thing for a friend so i can make a granny square blanket for Cailyn. im excited!!

I think it would work for an Italian Greyhound. although you might want to make it longer. Molly has a hairless belly so I am adding a "band" to go across her tummy and keep it warm
