My cousin (aka The Ginger Ninja) requested a camouflage Woodman’s Cap just like the one I made for her dad. I modified the pattern a bit to accommodate her cute little redhead: I casted on 72 sts and worked K1, P1 rib for three inches (rather than K2, P2).  I worked the decreases as established for the larger version.

We went shopping this afternoon for a flower girl dress for her to wear to my brother’s wedding in the spring.  She asked if she could wear her hockey pants under the dress. She’s definitely more of a hockey gear than dress girl! Regardless, she looked pretty darn cute.

These are some of my more bizarre projects, I admit it. But I was perusing other knit blogs shortly after the New Year, admiring mosaics of 2008 projects, and these puppy knits came to mind. So, for your enjoyment and perhaps, bewilderment, my puppy knits of 2008! Above is Trump, looking very handsome in an alpaca kerchief.

And Donna rather reluctantly posing in a camouflage jacket. Just the thing for a standard poodle living on Vancouver Island! This was my first puppy project – and I think I might be cheating with this one – it was finished in December 2007. The pattern is the howl of the Cowl and Howl set in Stitch ‘N Bitch.

I still have mixed feelings when I look at this one. It was my first attempt at fulling. For a long time I suspected the wool was mislabelled, and that it wasn’t 100% wool but a wily synthetic. It’s taken a long time, but I am now willing to admit that I may have not taken the fulling process far enough. I ended up having to do a bit of a tailoring job when I was too tired to scour any longer. But Mr. Baggins is doing me proud. He looks quite dapper actually.
