Arya, the Dinoschnauzer!

Arya's birthday is in November, although we're not sure exactly which day.  In honor of her 2nd birthday, I decided to make her another sweater.   Alex and I looked through Ravelry and loved the Dogosaurus Rex pattern by Paton's.  Unfortunately, it's from an out-of-print book by Paton's, "Another Dog's Life."  Fortunately, I found it from a seller in Canada.  (Yay!)  It was a bit expensive considering that I only wanted one of the patterns, but what a cute pattern!

I made it a bit too big, but it's still really cute on her!

May I purchase a copy of the pattern from you? This is just what I'm looking for!

I'm sorry, but I'm not done with the booklet, so I'm not willing to sell it. The title is "Another Dog's Life" and, at this moment, Amazon shows 10 used copies available starting at $14.95.
It is an adorable pattern! Good luck!

Hi there, I love that sweater and have just adopted a dog that I would love to knit it for. Would it be possible for you to scan a copy of that particular pattern to me if I give you my email address? I would be happy to trade it for a parcel of goodies from the UK! No problem if you don't feel comfortable, just thought I'd try :)

Hi Visitor Rabbit! I'm glad that you love the sweater and love to hear that you want to knit for your adopted doggie. I really don't feel comfortable scanning copyrighted works, though.

It's a pretty basic dog sweater. Then the spots are added in duplicate stitch, so you can add them to any pattern you may already have. The spines are just triangles knit in different colors and sewn on along the back. Hopefully that helps!

My Very First Sweater!

Image
I finally took the plunge and started a sweater. As a fat person, I find it hard to take on the challenge of making fitted clothes, like a sweater. (Yes, I call myself fat - it's just a description, like short or blue-eyed.) Sweaters seem like they are hard to fit and a lot of work. Plus, it's really hard to find plus sized patterns that I like. Last winter, I finally found a pattern. A raglan-style cardigan knit in cotton called the Branching Lace Sweater by Sian Brown Knitwear Design in the August 2018 issue of Simply Knitting. I decided to give it a go. But I don't like knitting with cotton, so I needed a different yarn. I had a stash of 22 skeins of Knit Picks Andean Silk that I purchased more than ten years ago. It was past time that I used the yarn but I was still hesitant. It took an epiphany about relative cost to get me to use it. I realized I was hesitant because I was afraid I would mess up the project and ruin my beautiful, soft, silky Jade yarn.
