I think knitting sweaters for pets is a nifty idea. It dawns on me, though, that I don't have any pets for which I can do that.
I have a Samoyed dog. She's got a wonderful coat already which does a spectacular job of looking good and keeping her warm. I suppose I could knit her a decorative collar, but I'm afraid that would look goofy.
I have two dwarf hamsters. While I do have size 0000 double-pointed needles, I don't think they'd be too keen on wearing little sweaters. They'd probably just pull them apart for nesting material anyway.
I have two hermit crabs. The only thing I could think of to knit for them would be shell cozies. Hmm......
Well, I'm either going to have to wait until I adopt a greyhound or a chihuahua or make dog sweaters to donate to animal shelters. I think I may have to add that possibility to the list of crafts I'd like to do.

I love knitting dog sweaters and my cats love modeling them for me. I have actually been commissioned to make two and I'm getting paid for it. You could always do sweaters for the shelters or make them blankets. There is an actual ministry that I belong to. I'll have to get the link for you.
ReplyDeletePlease do. I like doing things for charity
ReplyDeleteI have a hairless rat. I bet he'd look cute in a sweater. Maybe taking one for a chihuahua and making it even smaller?
ReplyDeletethat might work, but would a rat wear a sweater?
