Noro Yarn and Dog Fashion

Have you tried knitting with Noro Yarn yet? It's the latest "striping" yarn made in Japan. The colors are usually very calming , natural looking, and yummy. The yarn type chosen for this handknit dog sweater is made of 100% wool yarn from Noro, but you can also choose from other blends with silk and wool, mohair and wool, and a few others in different weights. As you knit, it naturally stripes, and ... if you weave it - you get a plaid! I will post a picture of my newest woven shawl very soon. The next time you go to your favorite yarn shop, ask for Noro.

Here is Tinker, a cute Min-Pin (Miniature Pinscher) from Pennsylvania, wearing an extra-small dog sweater from Fiona Couture Designs. The sweater is soft, very light, and keeps her very warm. Tinker is a very good girl and a very fashionable doggie!

To see more Fiona Couture Designs, please visit my Etsy Store. Keep knitting!

Dog Sweaters

Recently I designed a dog sweater pattern for my little Scottie-Poodle - Fiona Xena. She loves to wear clothes. I think most little dogs like to wear clothes. I believe they feel good when everyone fusses over them, wearing their "outfit." Fiona is an internet super model.

I've made a few versions of the sweater pattern, and you can view them on my Etsy store. Here is the latest bunny dog sweater, just in time for Easter and Spring.




Check out my Esty store for more details. Here are two nice dog stores and one is in the Hamptons on Long Island, NY: Muttropolis and Hamptons Hound.

How fun! Remember - keep knitting!
