A New Look for www.k9knittersusa.com!

Our wonderful webmaster, Jean in Colorado, has found software that gives our site a better look, and is easier to get around. I think it loads tons faster too. Please go there, www.k9knittersusa.com and shop around - oh - and don't forget to sign up for our newsletter. I am organizing the 1st Edition right now.



The signature sweater I designed is now done! Yea!!!!!! You can see the first prototype that is for sale on the website, but here is the lovely Roxie modeling God Bless the USA:

Knit with Plymouth's Encore Chunky in red, white and blue, I have just been stumped on star graphs. Different sizes require different number of stars, placement, and even size of stars. So - no intarsia stars! We will be using applique stars glued on with fabric glue. These things are NOT coming off!

Doesn't Roxie look darling?!

So I will be getting the pattern out to the test knitters today (I know, you have heard this before, oy vey.) My idea to call the campaign offices of McCain and Obama to tell them about this sweater and how 100% of all proceeds go to either VetDogs (McCain) or Best Friends Animal Society (Obama - he has promised his daughters they will get a dog once the campaign is over, and they have announced it will be a rescue dog.). Can you just see campaign workers out spreading their word with their dogs dressed in the God Bless the USA sweater in tow?! But, since less than 30 days to election day, it is too late. Maybe next election . . .

Next up - God Bless the USA coat - with belly band and buttons.
