This is Felted and Fabulous from this book. It's the third coat I've knitted him. The first one he chewed the (beautiful mother-of-pearl) buttons off of, the second one is still going strong... but it's always good to have a choice!
I used Rowan's Kid Classic - a beautiful yarn - and then I felted it. It looks a bit wonky...
...but he doesn't seem to mind. He's a lucky dog! It coordinates with his orange leash, of course!!
On another note, I'm very excited! I just got tickets to see REM in Manchester (LCCC) in August. And I booked a hotel to make a weekend of it - yes! I saw them 3 years ago at Hammersmith Apollo and they were just brilliant. It will be No2's first live gig and is on his birthday weekend - the best 12th birthday present a boy could get!
Awww, cute doggie coat ... did you have to knit it really big, so it could shrink down to the right size for Barney?
ReplyDeleteAs for REM tickets ... I am rather jealous. I must put some REM on my mp3 player.

That is a fabulous birthday present at any age!
ReplyDeleteOh, Barney's a sweetie-pie...give him a hug from me! I love dogs, miss having one sometimes. But our cat is king of the castle--LOL! Super you'll be seeing REM--fab gift to self ;o) Happy Day ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteHe certainly looks very cosy and toasty- I bet the other dogs are jealous!

Cute coat!
ReplyDeleteAnd are you indeed the coolest mum on the planet? I think so! Lucky boy.
hmmm...Poppy is feeling the doggie coat envy...but she is a bit worried that you started with an Irish Wolfhound and shrank dog and coat to fit.
