Hello all!
I have dog sweaters again this year. Actually I have quite a few. Most
of them I made during the past few months when I was waiting for my foot
to heal. Crocheting helped to pass the time. I also have a couple of
rugs, perfect for use in a crate, under a desk or in an out of the way
corner as the dog's designated spot. The rugs were made from leftover
odds and ends yarns, so are quite colorful. All the yarns I use are
acrylic, machine washable and dryable. They shouldn't shrink, although
I can't promise that there will be absolutely no shrinkage. The sizes I
have provided are approximate.
I realize that not everyone feels that guide dogs need or should wear
sweaters. I have two dogs, one needs some winter covering and the other
is fine with her natural fur coat. If you feel your dog could benefit
from a sweater, please feel free to choose one. If you don't want a
sweater, no action is necessary! *smile*
The sweaters and rugs are free to whomever wants one. I make them
because I like to crochet and I have every sort of afghan, scarf, hat
and do dad already. So I get to crochet and you get a sweater or rug
for your guide dog! All you need to do is send me and email message at:
julielj at neb.rr.com with your first and second choices and where to send
it. Sorry I'm not making any sweaters other than what I have listed.
I'm also not available by phone to discuss sweaters or colors. If you
have questions please email me. Please do not clutter the list with
sweater requests. email me privately.
There were a couple of people I promised sweaters last year that didn't
get one. If you are one of those people please let me know and I will
do my very best to get you one this time around.
It will be a few weeks before I will be able to ship the sweaters and
rugs out. Please be patient. Thanks!
Okay here's the list of what's available.
