Hot Diggity Dog

As you can see, Lucky is coming along nicely.  Since he's still a little lacking in the hair department, he needed a sweater for our daily walks that help build his muscle tone and confidence.  Isn't he handsome?  He's even sweeter than he looks if you can believe it.   For you dog lovers I did a cute little video to show the Rescue Group how much he's come out of his shell.  You can see by clicking here:

Pattern:  Fiber Trends Dandy Dog Sweaters (with some adjustments).

Yarn: Elann's Highland Wool in Claret (#2020)

I'm one of those people that never follows a recipe exactly (and then wonder why it doesn't taste the same) and I rarely follow a pattern exactly.  Instead of knitting the chest piece I just knit a band in garter stitch to go around his belly and then I knit a little triangular gusset to fill in where the polo neck pulled apart under the front of the collar.

Work it, Lucky!

I like the way you changed the sweater. I bet it's easier to take on and off. Really cute pictures! I'm off to watch the video.

Lucky looks very handsome in his new coat. It's great that Aggie now has a canine pal in residence, too. I'm still angry when I think of how he was treated at that awful place. Humans can be so heartless.

[Jennifer]

Yeah! What a happy dog. He's so lucky to have found such a loving family (especially one that knits for him!).

[Thimbleanna]

Oh how cute! They're kissing! Lucky has the perfect name and I'll bet Aggie is happy to have a new playmate too. Love the sweater -- the color is perfect for Lucky!

What an awesome blog you have going here. Cathy is a dear friend of mine and always includes me in the updates she gets from you. I adopted a girl of my own from LS and they are just such a blessing. I can't get over how quickly he is adjusting. He has most definitely found his forever, perfect home. Congrats to you on your new addition!
