Just a bit of fun

Blue grumpily modelling another daft dog snood for his larger friend.

This did give me the opportunity to practice an Italian cast on and Italian cast off, giving me the pleasure of knowing I can knit again though. Brain fog required much counting on fingers and resorting to a calculator though!

I love knitting hats, short repetitive patterns suit my fogginess. unfortunately the price of yarn means I can't afford to give them away and so far I haven't sold any either. It's hard having a hobby where you end up with more things than you can use yourself. I've not tried doggy clothes yet, perhaps that's the way to go.

I understand that baby hats have a market. Or baby blankets. Not a huge money spinner, but enough to keep you in hobby supplies. A baby blanket is often fog proof in more ways than one x

Have you thought of knitting for charity.

The local maternity unit is always needing hats for prem and full term babies.perhaps they would pay for the wool.

Some charities want knitted items to sale..

Perhaps you could make a few phone calls or ask around?

Or perhaps ask family / friends/ Facebook if they have any unwanted wool.

Sometimes people start projects and abandon them.

Not me of course!,

[suzannah16 in reply to Oshgosh]

yes done that. I asked for wool donations and only got 1, made some hats for my local animal rescue to sell.

By the look in Blues eyes..I don't think he's grumpy...he kinda looks like he's getting into it..striking the pose etc!! Looks like he's thinking...oh no not again..ok then!! 😱😁🕶️☎️Call my agent!! 😹😹 Xx

[Lupiknits in reply to Krazykat26]

I’m afraid not! 🤣 This had to be warmed on the radiator before he grudgingly cooperated

[Krazykat26 in reply to Lupiknits]

Yep so now he's getting fussy..demanding..just like Madonna...strike the pose..vogue..vogue etc!! 😹😹Thank u for giving me a giggle..feel like pants today!! 😔😴 Xx

Let me know if you are taking on commissions, I have a short hair often cold (when not running around) Emma, a duschound/chihuahua, very big ears like bats (up & down)....

My husband thinks she needs to be a tuff little 🐕 dog, though she prefer to burrow into her bedding...I think blue's stylist hat would be lovely & warm....😀...ml

[Lupiknits in reply to maggielee]

I’m afraid I don’t take commissions, but if you look at Etsy you’ll see a lot of dog outfits of all shapes, sizes and prices x

[maggielee in reply to Lupiknits]

Maybe it the beautiful model that makes me want to indulge😉 & also maybe wind up my hubby for xmas 🎄🎅....

Yes, familiar with esty, been resisting.... or I could work with my daughter over xmas, who took sewing classes (while I studied, was interested in fashion when she was younger)...

Give blue a hug for being such a good model & thanks for sharing your lovely knitting...ml

Well done

[Spotty-ewe]

It looks brilliant Lupi and so does the unwilling Blue.😍 Do you think he’d be happier if you knitted him a blue one?😂 So good to see you are back knitting again and you made a super job of the Italian casting on and off. 👌Can’t wait to see your next creation. 🤗😘

[Lupiknits in reply to Spotty-ewe]

He has a wardrobe of the double neck covers he prefers. So many colours! Me? Spoil my dog? 😉

[Spotty-ewe in reply to Lupiknits]

Lucky Blue!👍🏻 I hope he’s quicker at deciding what to wear when he looks in his wardrobe than I am! 😂 I hope you are feeling better now Lupi. 🤗😘
