Puppy Jerseys



As modelled by a couple of soft toys because of the absence of any doglets - and the strong and swift presence of Zebbycat's claws. It is also way too warm for living beings to model woolley jumpers today.

These are for the SPCA who need the jerseys over the winter months for puppies that come in. A chain of yarn shops here is promoting this charity drive. It was great to knit these on the cooler days we had.

The pattern supplied even includes a version for the boy puppies that has an inverted V at the middle of the lower front so the lads don't wet their woollies!

Three Scarves and a Hat

Pete tries on his present - the Bamboo scarf!

Mum, Pete and Liz model "Mickle Knitting"


Mum and Liz's scarves are each made from a hand dyed 2 ply Marino and Kid Mohair mix
from NZ company Touch Yarns.

I made Pete's hat a few years ago from scrap woollen yarn.

The big picture to the right of Pete hanging on the wall is Liz's work - it is woven and shows
