Happy Tails

My grand puppy, Freddy, came to visit me on Monday and I gave him his new sweater for Christmas.  The sweater came from Happy Tales on Main Street in Gloucester.  Freddy looks very handsome in his new grey sweater.  Happy Tails is a great store on Main Street with a fun atmosphere.

Lots of stitches on needles now… Adding more every other row to create ‘broad’ shoulders and a ‘manly’ chest!!!

Thanks to Coveted Yarn for sponsoring the yarn!  Did you know Coveted Yarn has moved from East Main Street To The lower level of Shaws Plaza on Eastern Ave.

On the needles…  How does cashmere sound??? Charcoal?

Moving right along… Neckband done… Division for back, front and sleeves…

Moving down over the shoulders… Still unrecognizable as a sweater…

Here’s the original offer which Cindy took me up on-

I’d like a lg mens merino wool sweater in the style above minus the Charlie Brown pattern color heather grey or charcoal.  Any knitters up for it?  Your picture on the blog and the yarn shop that wants to donate the yarn will get my time posting about the process.

Here’s where I saw the pattern but you might have a classic crew neck sweater pattern we could look at too.
