post in which I tell you what I've been knitting.

Well,, a lot of things but mostly this CUTE dog sweater! My next door neighbor's (no, not the ones I hate) got this little wiener dog a few months ago and it's as CUTE as it can be. She's so fully of puppy energy and her fur is so slick and soft. I *heart* her big time. I'm more of a cat person myself but I'd like to have a dog one day when we have room. They mentioned the other day that since her fur isn't dense like most breeds she gets cold really easy. What's a person to do that knits? Or rather,, how could I not resist knitting something for someone who's cold? So I whipped up this little sweater.

I can't wait until they get home!!! They're out of town for the holiday. I could just eat this up! I had to try it on one of the kids' stuffed animals that seemed about the same size as Jasmine. If they love it and Jas looks cute in it you know I'll have to make a few more!

The pattern is loosely based on Knitty's Penny . I just used some Red Heart Worsted out of my stash.

This post brought to you by Billet grille . T-REX BILLET GRILLES. When it comes to manufacturing a quality product, it starts in the design department but it doesn't end there. Billet Grilles start with solid stock of aircraft quality T-5 or T-6 billet aluminum rather than extruded aluminum as used by some competitors. The stock is cut to length and then shaped to its contour. Each grille is then hand assembled into a custom jig and welded with a process called "T.I.G." to ensure a strong and clean weld.
