Donating YT 500 Club Member | 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! Living in Florida there really are only so many scarves and knit hats one needs or can gift. 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 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.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | 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.

Yorkie Yakker | 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! |

| 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 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 (?).

| 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. |
