I'm in the Dog Rescue group and I have 2 rescued dogs. Hope you get lots of new readers this way.<BR/>I'm always looking for new items to make as fundraisers for my rescue group.<BR/>Cheers!lunadognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-54297374279071591452008-07-14T14:19:00.000-04:002008-07-14T14:19:00.000-04:00How great! I'm a new knitter with only about 5 finished items, none for dogs... yet! But I've been thinking about it since I picked up needles. My dog Belle is a cold-weather-loving girl. But her best doggy-friend Roxy is NOT. Roxy is probably visla-lab and has very short hair. And living in MN means that she does NOT like winter at all. So I'd love to make a sweater for Roxy so that she can play outside with Belle during the winter.Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14452536489629296834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-28800967563058342572008-07-14T03:02:00.000-04:002008-07-14T03:02:00.000-04:00Oh my, that sounds like a great book! I have 2 human children, 2 canine(rescues), and assorted small animal pets (currently 1 ancient rat and 2 hermit crabs.) My 10 year old daughter and I have often talked about knitting a sweater/jacket for Star, our 1 year old chihuahua/cairn terrier/something else, because she *enjoys* wearing clothing, and also because she seems to feel the cold so much more than Phoebe, our other pup.Knitmommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06186191043907653161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-88302138562262203942008-07-13T21:32:00.000-04:002008-07-13T21:32:00.000-04:00When we moved here it was a huge transition for our pup who is older (figure HI to WA...cold!) I knit her leg warmers for her hind legs which were sore in the joints. She does wear them...i've been thinking of a sweater!Turtlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01851819627750022788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-32169397447987721002008-07-12T13:15:00.000-04:002008-07-12T13:15:00.000-04:00I sent an e-mail, but don't know if that counts.Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05100381901254968075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-15711013190893910762008-07-11T18:25:00.000-04:002008-07-11T18:25:00.000-04:00What a perfect book for you! I won't try to win, the absence of a dog in my home coupled with cats not being huge sweater fans sort of disqualifies me. :DEmilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13062933205518667540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-86039368684388790492008-07-11T14:26:00.000-04:002008-07-11T14:26:00.000-04:00Oh, I adore your review of this book. Thanks. <BR/><BR/>I have knitted little tiny sweaters for Little Miss Gypsy. She weighed in at 3 pounds when she was adopted on a cold Feb day. She needed sweaters. So a yellow/orange self striping sock yarn sweater was the first garment of choice. Then a fluffy pink sweater and a Christmas hat (which she refused to allow on her head and Mr. Bettis took it as a toy). <BR/>Now Mr. Bettis thinks he deserves a sweater. He and his owner aka DH, have got to be kidding......Right? LOL<BR/>My son called and he and his girlfriend are going to adopt a shelter dog and he informed me that the little buster is going to need sweaters. A hooded sweater would be very nice as they live near the city.<BR/>Good luck to everyone!gypsyknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16701312541004435715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-32106763718599440682008-07-11T12:23:00.000-04:002008-07-11T12:23:00.000-04:00I knit my dog the 'howl' sweater from Stitch n Bitch nation....and then he grew. I'd like to make him another one, but not until he stops growing.

My favorite knit item though was a purple baby sweater that I knit as a gift. I then put it on my Boston Terrier to model it for photos, and I thought it looked so stinkin' cute on Elleigh that I didn't end up giving the sweater away. Instead Elleigh got to keep the little purple cardigan.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15758362473483628857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-51891456529956785842008-07-10T21:48:00.000-04:002008-07-10T21:48:00.000-04:00I have the book, so if by some chance I win it, please give it to someone else! I love it. I've been looking for a modular knitting pattern like the Yoda sweater, and now I've got it. That one is definitely in my Zippy's future.<BR/><BR/>My favorite sweater I've knit is a red superwash I made for my elderly Pookie several years ago. We lived in a nearly unheated apartment for three years; the furnace ran all the time and it never got above 52 in the winter, so Pookie needed two sweaters. I don't know where the pattern came from, but my beautiful off-white Pookie looked lovely in her bright red sweater with red and purple eyelash trim on the collar and waist.ritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08670685934653870752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-70785846262204361212008-07-10T20:59:00.000-04:002008-07-10T20:59:00.000-04:00oooh, looks like a great book! I have crocheted some doggie sweaters for co workers at the vet hospital. My favorite one was made for my kitty. He doesn't like it much but DAMN, he looks cute in it :) Is there anything cuter than a pet in a sweater? :)Trishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17724135273295687699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-78913590473048704712008-07-10T20:00:00.000-04:002008-07-10T20:00:00.000-04:00I would love to knit a sweater or tank (to show off his muscles) for Wilbur. He loves to wear Tshirts and I think he'd enjoy a sweater of his own instead of having to wear his peoples shirts. :)dogquilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17583401335056895525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-59112330674960447552008-07-10T15:51:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:51:00.000-04:00I have made Casey's Coat from SnB Nation for Snoop but he has outgrown it.

Haven't knitted for my 2 pugs, 1 Boston Terrier and a Black Lab/Irish Setter. We are moving to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Great adventure and lots of knitting but colder. Lots colder. If I don't win the book then I will order it on-line. Lots of on-line stuff will be going on since we are 80 miles from the nearest town. (Do I get pity points? (LOL))Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07993362239055527134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-50674688716309049042008-07-10T09:33:00.000-04:002008-07-10T09:33:00.000-04:00Haven't knitted for my boy Griffin yet. I was wondering if I could make something for him to calm him during a thinderstorm! I hear a tight t-shirt does the trick, but Griffin is not a t-shirt kind of guy--maybe he would like a nice felted malibrigo snuggly sweater to keep him calm and relaxed!<BR/>R<BR/>rwilsob@jhmi.eduReneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-18834343717162051112008-07-10T07:24:00.000-04:002008-07-10T07:24:00.000-04:00I sent you an email. I hope that that counts. I really like what Corinne knits up, and would really like a copy of the book. We have a shelter dog Abbie that we rescued when she was 8 weeks old, she's now 7, she has alot of heath issues, but she is our baby and we love her soo!! much. If I win the book I guess you know that Abbie will be wearing one of those sweaters.<BR/>Alice<BR/>eagle1@megalink.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-70708636237159447602008-07-09T21:56:00.000-04:002008-07-09T21:56:00.000-04:00Oh that looks like a great book! <BR/><BR/>My little guy, Jack, has short hair and gets cold in the CT winters so I knit sweaters for him. He doesn't like anything "girly" so they have to be macho looking and I'm always looking for new patterns. My favourite so far is the Biscuit & Bones Sweater (you can see it on my projects page on Ravelry, username Sherria). <BR/><BR/>I'm adopting a 12 year old beagle next week (I hope!) and will have to make some sweaters for him as well, so this book would be a great addition to the knitting library. <BR/><BR/>Paws crossed that we'll be the lucky winner!

A month ago we rescued Maya, a lab/pit bull mix who opened our eyes to the dis-service the media and the world around us has done to pit bulls. We are considering fostering pitties in our home for a local rescue group and I'd love to knit up something like a bandanna, cowl, hat, or even booties that they could perhaps get wet (well not the socks/booties) to keep cool when they go for walks (even at night!) and perhaps letter on them, "Adopt me!". I'm a loom knitter and slowly learning sticks, so I'd convert the pattern to my loom or if it's simple enough, do it on my sticks (what I call needles) since I have plenty of them. :) Thank you for considering me.Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03384198464209395498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-64592421701760197492008-07-09T17:56:00.000-04:002008-07-09T17:56:00.000-04:00I haven't knit for our dogs, but my sister gave us a beautiful sweater she knit for the dog she was adopting from us, but it looked better on the pup we kept so she gave it to us.

If I don't win it, I'll be buying it.<BR/><BR/>Favorite doggy items? Sweaters for wee Abby, although this year, Sissy might need a very customized long and extra lean sweater... However, I'm betting once I have this book, the kerchief will be the new favorite!Channonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13249971578077045662noreply@blogger.com
