  • WIP: Bosley’s Sweater

    A current work in progress is this sweater for Bosley. For those that have met our dog Bosley, you may have noticed that he does not have a lot of extra padding around him. This results in Bosley feeling the cold when we push him outside for the things that dogs can’t do inside (or shouldn’t). The pattern is one that I am building as I go, and I will post it when I have finished the sweater. This has been a real learning experience.

    The multi-color threads are markers where increasing and decreasing takes place. The collar has a multi-color thread through it to assist in pulling the connection that will enable the sweater to stay on (I couldn’t bear to have to thread something through later on, so forward thinking sometimes does help).

  • WIP: Tube scarf

    I’ve been working on a tube scarf for the last week, and thought I would post pics of it’s current status.

    The image on the left was taken with a flash, and there was no flash used on the right. The first end has a slight “brim” of six rows (folded) for weight. I’m still trying to ascertain how I will do the same effect at the other end.
