Any fellow knitters/crocheters? I was just curious. I want my next project to be a dog sweater and have been checking online patterns. I am wrapping up a crochet'ed afghan and I'm so ready to get this mailed off and start a project for my doggies :) |
When I was young I used to crochet. I stopped for so long I've forgotten. :( Most recently I've been knitting, last year I went knitting crazy! Except the only things I could actually knit were plain scarves and hats! :cool: Living in Florida there really are only so many scarves and knit hats one needs or can gift. :rolleyes: So I've mostly stopped since much else is beyond my abilities! (Though I find knitting something basic is very relaxing!) But my Mom is amazing!! And has knit 1 afghan and crocheted another afghan for me! |
I still crochet, cant remember how to knit... |
I do both. I prefer knitting though, for me it's faster. I like knitting for wearable stuff, and crochet for toys and amigurumi (sp?) since crochet is more sturdy and doesn't stretch as much. |
I started knitting dishcloths. Many of my friends prefer those in cotton than the ones you buy at the store especially for the kitchen. I have a dress in progress and an afghan for a wedding gift someone hired me to do. NEVER again LOL I like doing them for gifts and I really want to do something for myself. |
dog sweater Oh Hello! I'm so glad to see you on here. I knit all the time. I probably have at least 5 projects going and that doesn't count the sewing I need to finish. Have you found a sweater pattern for your dog. If you do a web search for free knitting patterns you will probably find one. Unless you are knitting for a Great Dane, you will have a sweater done in no time at all. Even easier than socks. Please take some photos of your finished project. I knit a sweater for my Yorkie. He was not at all appreciative. Have a totally terrific day!:animal36 |
I wish I could! My sister-n-law took knitting classes this year and now knits hats for the homeless, which I think is great! It would be awesome to be able to knit clothes for my doggies too!! |
I admit it, I knit doggie sweaters 1 Attachment(s) Knitting dog sweaters are quick and inexpensive. Here's a picture of my Yorkipoo modeling one of them - he would have more but I had to stop to make Christmas presents. |

I did knit a sweater for maggie may this year but it is just a basic, basic sweater. I followed another sweater as best I could for the pattern. It's not bad for a first attempt but I want to get it down as I want to start making more. they don't take much time at all! I think her sweater took me 2 -3 nights (?). |
Linky Hello to all crafty pet owners. I wanted to share a great site with you. Christmas is coming so get busy with those hooks and needles. Knitting Pattern Central - Free Pet Knitting Pattern Link Directory I'm knitting a retro sweater for the skin daughter. Laura |
Thanks, Laura for reminding me of that site. If you're a knitter I'm sure you know about Ravelry.com? There are free doggie patterns there too. |
knitting I can only knit and crochet a quilt. but my mother does, so I went on ebay and got some patterns for her to make me some. I wish I could. |
