Still Life with Knitting


Seen in the little bathroom at the Lucky Penny household. It's Piccolo's sweater wardrobe, drying after romps in the backyard snow. Also hanging on the towel bar are her mommy's hand knit socks. The dog sweaters are my favorite yarns, Lorna's Laces Bullfrogs and Butterflies, Cherry Tree Hill worsted wool, Noro Kureyon, Annabel Fox Aran, and Lamb's Pride Worsted. The sweater knit from the Foxhill Farms hand paint is in front. Yes, there are seven dog sweaters there, and more of her wardrobe is sent on to San Francisco for the color story in the book. I believe that dogs should own many sweaters, from a practical standpoint, there will most likely always be a dry one available, and because they're fun to make. My socks are Regia, Lorna's Laces, and my favorite, Mountain Colors Weavers Wool. I don't care if they are hand wash only! It's worth it, really.
