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.

That is so cute! I need to make another one for our little dog. She loves to wear her sweater when it gets cold.

That is cute. Our friends have a weinie dog and she's always got a cute bandana or something around her neck. While, our Maltese would never stand for it! He didn't want to come in after going to potty today ~~~ wanted to play in the snow up to his belly! Silly dog.

I love the dog sweater you knit! I seriously need to knit one for our little Min Pin. She LOVES being outside, but the poor thing shivers nonstop the entire time we're out there. Even still, I have to literally drag her inside when I'm at the point that I have icycles hanging from my nose! ;-Þ
