| Pup Clothes in UK I have been comparing prices of american dog clothes and English dog clothes and the prices are soo different. Uk sellers charge about £10.00 for one t-shirt, whereas in usa i can order two t-shirts for that price! I just ordered 3 hoodies and 7 t-shirts from a lovely lady at www.barkindogclothes.com it cost me about £50.00 inc p&p, for that price here in the UK i could only have got like 4 t-shirts! This is why i always buy from America, does anyone know any cheap uk sellers? |

| They wont be able to move their arms properly because dog t-shirts have the arms at the front and a normal t-shirt has the arms at each side, obviously.

| I don't know where you can get T shirts, sorry. Tansy just has little dog coats from the pet shop and some little dog jumpers that I've knitted for her. The T shirts could be good in summer though. When I'm working in the garden she wanders round everywhere & when we come in I have to spend ages getting all the little bits of leaves & twigs out of her coat. |

| Not really. They did try to help but it wasn't really what i neede to know. I was directed to a site that gave wool equivalents but it was all still between US brands using their terms. I was advised about tension squares, but I knew that, it's more knowing what to buy to be fairly right. They said worsted was plain old wool that children use, so i'm going to assume that's double knitting & try that. You should see the patterns in the books I got though......sequins & everything! One was bought for me (Christmas gift) cos it had two cute Yorkies in sequins on the cover Where did you manage to get the doggy sewing patterns? Aren't the smilies on here brilliant! |

| That's a great link to the pattern site, thankyou. I didn't know Simplicity did so many dog patterns! And I'd no idea that Next sold dog coats either. It's definately the same knitting book we've got. I was given another two as well that are good. One's a Hamlyn one using mostly Rowan yarns, so they're easy to get, & the other one is American by Judith L. Swartz. If I get round to knitting all of them I'll have to buy her a wardrobe! Is the Au Naturel you got them from the interiors & fancy goods shop, Juliealfiesmum? There's a small branch of theirs on an out of town shopping site not too much of a drive from me. |
