Dog sweater knitting patterns

I've been knitting dog sweaters and selling them on Etsy for several years now. 10% of all those sales go to animal rescue.

Recently, I wrote up a few patterns in PDF form to sell. I've listed them on this page on my blog:
http://inspiredbymocha.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

You can see them at the top of my page next to "Home."

I will always give 10% of my sales of this pattern to animal rescue. Always!

You can click the "Buy Now" button to order the PDF, and I will email it to you ASAP.

Check back often, I'm planning on making more patterns!

Here are the two sweaters I have listed so far:



Happy knitting!

First OH Craft Fair

Hello world! Did my first craft fair in Ohio last weekend. It was sooooo slow. Unnervingly slow, really. But, we did ok and got lots of compliments! Here's some pics of my setup:





I hung the dog collars on wire shelving from our pantry. And that white box there in the bottom photo was actually a plastic crate that I covered in white packing paper to make it look a little nicer. I'm going to sew a cover for it soon.

They wouldn't let me have Mocha with me because it was an indoor craft show and they were selling food (to the 20 people that came...) so I brought my laptop and had a slideshow playing of Mocha and Ninja modeling the sweaters.

So, now what? We're doing another show, of course! December 7th at the Falcon Academy of Creative Arts (FACA) in Mogodore, OH. Sure hope it goes well!

Also... I opened a shop on Zibbet. It's a website that's really committed to selling handmade, like Etsy used to be. So, here's the link (I'll try to find a widget too): www.zibbet.com/inspiredbymocha

Just a couple things on there, but a super nice community. I'm interested to see how the site does.

2012!

So, the holidays came and went and I'm just as bad at keeping up with blogging as I was with having a diary.  Which is to say, terrible.  Obviously :)

Anyway,  I've learned to sew, sort of, and made some cute little bandanas that I hope someone will want their dog wearing around Valentine's day.

I'm also working on another polka dot sweater.  Here's a photo as seen from my vantage point



I had a moment tonight, when I was knitting, where I couldn't find Mocha anywhere.  I look up from my knitting and away from my Star Trek and he's nowhere to be found.  Well, eventually, I found him:


There's a white sheet draped over this chair and he was sleeping underneath it with some of his toys and my socks.  Funniest thing I'd seen all day.  He's just the cutest :)
