Storm's New Sweater





It's been quite some time since last I posted any projects that I've done. Well, as the time has passed, a few projects have come and gone, but most recently my project was to knit a new sweater for our recently adopted friend, Storm! She is a blue doberman with very fine blue/gray hair that reflects light with a bluish tint. I made her a quick knit sweater from the Lion Brand Yarn website, but I used a "stash" yarn meant for blankets/afghans...needless to say, it stretched out so fast that she can't wear it anymore, and I needed to get her a new one fast! I found this pattern on www.ravelry.com, a site that I'm a member & huge fan of. It is called the Side Button Greyhound Sweater, and fits Storm perfectly...I almost hope, not too perfectly, I want her to be able to move well enough, you know. If I knit her a back up, I think I'll go a size up on the waist band just to be sure it has enough breathing room. But now our little girl #2 has a new blue sweater to match her blue body!! Isn't she lovely??!!
