Dog knitting Monday, May 30, 2005

Thank you for the offers of knitting and other stuff.

For jumpers any size is fine – they’ll all be needed. I’m planning to knit larger sizes. This pattern is apparently quite good – haven’t knitted it up myself yet. This one also looks pretty simple too. I’ve knitted this one up, but it needs 3 yarns knitted together which seems like a lot to use for one jumper. I’ve just bought the Patons dog jumper book on eBay and once it arrives I’ll be happy to photocopy patterns out of it for anyone who wants one. There’s also a Patons book with patterns for fetes, which seems to be out of print now. It has 2 good dog jumper patterns. I used to have it, but I think I loaned it to The Mavis and she denies all knowledge of it. If anyone sees it anywhere, grab it and I’ll reimburse you – I want it again. It also has good patterns for teddy bear clothes…

For squares, any size is also fine. I’ll work out how to put them together, The one Mark’s knitting will be about 25cm x 25cm when done.

As far as getting wool to people is concerned, that should be no problem. Mark & I will both be home full-time from the end of this week and the big red car can go anywhere.
