Marquis

Here's a photo of Marquis wearing the leggings I knit him, that finally fit!! 

Apparently he really likes them and my "trick" of the open bottom and using a plastic bag to slide them on and then remove the bag worked really well.  I am so happy for him!! 

These were for Leggings for Life.  

Bobbles!

When I went to the Kitchener Knitters Fair I found some amazing hand dyed and spun yarn - for $15!  It's so lovely it was hard to just pick one color!  I went with the neutral and found a nice neck piece that shows off the wool and taught me how to make bobbles.  It's called the Melissa scarf.  Here it is. 

There is almost enough left to make a hat but since I am not sure, I bought some nice soft brown alpaca to do the top of a hat and then I can mix the brown and this wool for the sides.   Still have to figure out how I want that to look.  

And if you need a laugh...look at this poor doggie.   People actually knit to humiliate their dog.

Little Leggings for a Kitty

I recently made some leggings for a kitty and unfortunately they did not fit.  I also didn't like knitting them flat and having to sew them together!  Out of need comes a solution.  Check out the new leggings pattern I wrote to accomodate the change in size request and my desire for knitting without sewing up.   They are almost done and will be in the mail tomorrow!

You can see the first pair I knit in my blog post Leggings for Life.
