I can try my best
I'm guessing those are the jackets that have the 2 stripes down the sleeve? I think I'll be able to do it!

so you want it black with 3 white stripes?

hmm I think I could fit in 4 but the sleeves are so small that it would probablly look better with 2

your decision

so I can make this!
I will try to make it as close to possible to what you'd like! just let me know these measurements (please be precise)

dog's length
dog's neck size
dog's waist (larger part around rib cage)
length of front legs (either leg will do)
length around leg
and weight!

I know that's quite a few measurements, but that way I can make sure it fits perfectly!
I'm going to use singlestranded yarn because I believe it will look much better, that yarn is less bulky, but if you'd like double stranded yarn I can do that as well

I won't know how much until the measurements!
but definitly not more than 14

I'll get my sister to measure Homer. What kind of material are you making the sweater with? I'm not sure if you're familiar with track jackets but they feel like nylon'ish. I'll see if I can find what the material is called.

Hi ,Joe just curious what is 3A0X1? Miss Sara I think Michaels has a yarn that would work up nice on that. I can't think of the name of the yarn. It is nice to see others enjoy knitting. Patti

Sorry for the late reply. 3A0X1 is Information Management - basically a mixture between admin. work & computers. We do both which is awesome in my opinion.

My sister is working on getting those measurements for ya!

I make sweaters, but have to admit ... been to lazy

realy need to get in gear, can knot and crochet about anything i put my mind on, just havent been in the mood, here a couple of simple ones i made for Rosi !

Toofpaste39 · 08-29-2006, 04:21 PM

That red one is cool, but I doubt I'll let Homer prance around in that. He might feel a little gay in it.

Sorry, I have not gotten back to anyone, due to Kia's injury and my health the last week or so.

You asked about the sweater I have on my post-I can make them any colour, and just purchased the wool to make a hot pink one.

Ohh...that is nice. I knit but have only done scarfs. Do you have a pattern for these?

AuntBee · 09-07-2006, 11:10 AM

I have knitted sweaters for our Yorkie and one for our Chihuahua. I knitted a camo hat & scarf for my hubby last year, so Dudley just *HAD* to have a sweater to match.

Angel (our Chihuahua) hates wearing any sweater. Dudley, on the other hand, loves his.

I have never thought about making them to sell. I do have the patterns around here somewhere. I will have to look around & see where I put my knitting & crochet stuff over the summer.

I've knitted some sweaters too! They're quite simple but they're made of good quality Norwegian Wool. If anyone's interested please let me know

How much do you charge? Is shipping a lot from where you live?

thanks,
