first 2008 FO

Well, I finished my first dog sweater. I used the Penny sweater from Knitty 2003. I ran into all sorts of trouble making this. This should have been a quick, easy knit. I had this thing about half way finished before I realized that the pattern had all sorts of mistakes. So, I ripped it back and went online to look for errata. I contacted the designer and she promptly sent me a corrected copy. Great. So, I began again. And then found another math mistake in the pattern. But, I fixed it with no problem and now have a cute sweater to show for it. The next sweater I make will be a little longer I think, probably about two inches.

Roxie models her sweater while sitting with the Eldest on the Bean Bag.

I'm off now to torture Widget the Supervisor Cat with the sweater next. Wish me luck that I don't get scratched to ribbons.

    I love the sweater. I hate that you had so many issues getting started but it really looks great. How in the world do you get your model to pose for you so well? My little Chi is so not interested in having her picture taken or sitting still. lol

    I caught her while she was sleepy. It's the only time I've been able to get any decent shots of her. Otherwise she's either sleeping or running.
