I have several knitted up and ready to keep your best buddy warm for the remainder of what winter has left for those of us who live in colder climates.
My sweaters are sized for the smaller dog, since I own small dogs. Depending on size, I am willing to consider knitting a sweater for a larger breed - contact me if you are interested in a special order. The best time for me to work on a special order sweater is spring and summer.
Due to the end of the season I am taking 25% off of the dog sweaters on my Etsy site. The sale price will not be reflected on Etsy listings, please contact me for a final price. Posted shipping charges will apply and be added to the total.
This is a great time to purchase a warm, cozy sweater for next year. Then your best friend will not only be warm, but make a great fashion statement when the north winds begin to blow. (in our case, those winds are still blowing!)
Rosie wearing "Moonlight Mohair"
Rosie wearing "Pink Cable Sweater"Rosie loves to wear sweaters. In fact, she is the reason I got started knitting dog sweaters. It started when she got a haircut and came home and was miserable because she was so cold. When you think of it, how silly to pay $45.00 to get a dog a haircut and then need a sweater to keep them warm. Well, anyway, I went to W*l-M*art to buy my little Rosie a sweater. Not only were they not very nice but it stretched out of shape within a week. I decided to knit her sweaters at that point.
Because the sweater brought her such comfort, she comes running to have it put on, even if I am just folding it to put away. When I finish a sweater and hold it up to look it over, she assumes it is hers and comes and sits in front of me, thinking she should immediately wear it.
The reason I mention all of this is that Rosie looks miserable in the pictures above. It isn't that she doesn't like modeling the sweaters she is wearing, but she HATES to have her picture taken. Something about the camera, flash or no flash - she will not look at the camera. If I get a picture of her actually looking at the camera, it is by accident.
