It's All About Dog Sweaters

I'm on a dog sweater kick right now. I decided to attempt selling my knitting again as well as teaching knitting and I'm trying to get stuff made up to open an online shop. I plan to make gloves (a lot of people express interest in my fingerless gloves), socks, scarves, hats, and dog sweaters.

I found a book with several styles of dog sweaters as well as a couple patterns online. The first one I made from the book was extremely easy and a simple design. I made the sweater in one day. The second one that I started isn't going as quick. I ran into problems with the pattern where the pattern mixed up the right side/wrong side and it wasn't matching up. I had to take it out and restart it in order to get it to come out right. The collar ended up looking really cute, but it took some work. It has a cable design and I'm not too experienced with cables. I'm working on the torso part now.

I found a great sight to get yarn cheaply.

Its a bartering sight and I already picked up some needles. You have to put items up to barter in order to get points to "purchase" things. I put up a pair of socks and they are getting bid on.

Life goes on here. It's always busy. Nothing like having a couple room mates move in that are in their 20's to keep things jumping. Our household has two 20 year olds, one 30 year old, and me at 52. Somehow we make it work so that we all get what we need.
That's about all I can think of right now since its late and my brain isn't functioning real wall. Happy knitting.
