Knitting for dogs is hot! Need proof? When Interweave Knits magazine reviewed a dog sweater pattern in the Winter 2000 issue, the yarn company that created the pattern was so inundated with phone calls that they had to hire an additional customer service rep just to handle the orders. Dogs in Knits offers a collection of sweaters and blankets for dogs by expert knitwear designer Judith L. Swartz, who has created sweaters that dogs can "wear with dignity." It includes styles for all knitting skill levels, plus instructions for measuring dogs and sizing patterns correctly for a perfect fit. A must-have for dog lovers and passionate knitters alike.
Reviews: "Because pieces don't look like doll clothes, large dogs look just as good as the tiny ones in them."-Cable Gram, the newsletter of the Minnesota Knitter's Guild
Judith L. Swartz learned to knit when she was eight, the same year she acquired Duchess, her first dog-for whom she knitted her first sweater. Swartz’s career in textile design includes developing patterns for yarn companies, publishers, and private clients, and she also teaches classes and workshops in knitting and crochet. She has designed hats for Smiley Hats and Roffe Skiwear, and created a sweater for Fred “Mr. Rogers” Rogers, commissioned by McDonald’s. She lives in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
