Look at my boy
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: He is a very Spoiled boy
Isn't he so handsome? Now Elvis and his Mommy have matching sweaters. We will make a fine looking pair when we go for long walks together. I used my favorite Dog sweater pattern. The pattern is at http://doggoneknit.com/?page_id4 I really like this pattern because of the Velcro closure under the neck and under the tummy. It makes getting the sweater on and off very easy. I used Red Heart Bright and Lofty, the color Beach, and 1 strand of Alpaca the color Royal blue to make the sweater extra warm. It can get very cold in South Dakota in the winter.

My very first sweater for ME!
Mood:  happy
I have finally did it. I have knit a sweater. I have been knitting for about 2 years when I first started knitting, I wanted to learn to knit socks. I did learn to knit socks, and I love hand knit socks. Then I wanted to learn to knit a sweater, I am knitted many things before I achieved that goal. I have been searching for an easy pattern for about a year. I finally found one that I thought that I could knit with out to much trouble, and got busy. The pattern can be found at http://www.dailyknitter.com/kelly.html I did not use the recommended yarn because it has 20% wool in it , and I can not wear wool. To itchy for me. I chose Red Heart Bright and Lofty, the color Beach. Now I am knitting a matching sweater for my dog Elvis we should make a very handsome pair!

The front of my sweater is done
Now I have to knit the back and sew it together. I started knitting about 2 years ago. I wanted to learn to knit socks. I did, and I just love hand knit socks. Although I don't have to many pairs of socks, because I keep knitting gifts for everyone else. But I enjoy knitting for others so much.
I should have enough yarn left over from my sweater to knit a sweater for my pup Elvis. Won't we be a handsome looking pair!

I am so excited about knitting a real sweater, that I could not wait until it was finished to take a picture of it. I am using Red Heart Bright, and Lofty yarn. The color is called beach. I picked a very, very easy pattern. I hope that it fits when I am done with it.

Grandma's Gloves
Now Playing: I love this glove pattern
The gloves can be made to have a regular cuff or a loner cuff. I made the gloves with the longer cuff. I used Re Heart yarn, the color Cherry Red. The pattern came from http://www.bevcountrycottage.com/knitgloves.html
I am going to put these gloves away. They will be a gift, but I haven't decided who to give them to yet.

A pretty Hat for my Granddaughter Casey
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: Bev's Basic Cozy Cap
My Granddaughter got a new red winter coat so I knit her a new red hat. I used the pattern Bev's Basic Cozy Cap. The pattern can be found at http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevbasichat.html I used 2 strands of Red Heart yarn the color Cherry Red for the Hat. For the ribbing on the hat I used 1 stand of red fuzzy yarn along with one strand of Red Heart cherry red. I also used the fuzzy yarn for the pom pom on the top of the hat. I am sure that she will love the hat. She loves every thing that I knit for her.

Another sweater for Elvis
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: I have found the PERFECT pattern
The pattern that I used for this sweater is at http://doggoneknit/?page_id=4 It is the One Piece Sweater Pattern for Small, Medium, and Large dogs. I made it in the small size for Elvis. He only weighs 13 lbs. And it fit him Perfectly. It closes with Velcro around the neck and around the tummy, so it is very, very easy to get on and off. I used Red Heart yarn in Cherry Red, and another variegated yarn. 2 strands held together so that the sweater would be warmer. This sweater was so easy to knit. That I will probably make him a few more in different colors. I love spoiling him.

New sweater for Elvis
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: The sweater is to BIG
I made another sweater for my pup Elvis. I used 2 strands of Red Heart yarn, the color Banana Blueberry held together. So that the sweater would be warmer. The pattern came from http://www.northtipton.com/hand_knitted_dog_coat.htm I thought that it would fit my Elvis, but it turned out to be to BIG. So I am going to give the sweater to my sister in law for her dog Mazey. I am sure that it will fit Mazey. I will have to try the pattern again some time, and make it smaller.
