Valentine's Day Knitting For Dogs

I LOVE to knit for my dog, and he loves getting new things to wear. I made him a special cowl for Valentine's Day with Intarsia Knit hearts. I knit in the round using the stranded method, and my tension wasn't perfect. But I still think Willie looks adorable!!

Willie loves to model my knit creations I make for dogs! I sell some of them in my etsy shop called PattyMac Knits.

Willie loves to model, and I always tell people it's his best trick.

Willie came from a Golden Retriever rescue group called SEVA GRReat. He was found in terrible condition, and they nursed him back to health. I was able to adopt him several months later. He has such wisdom and tenderness in his eyes. It's difficult for me to believe he was ever so neglected.

Willie has his own blog at EveryBodyLovesWillie.tumblr.com. I take original pictures of him and post something different almost every day. I also include other senior animals and unusual animal stories. Willie is also featured regularly on large blogs and was recently a Best Woof in Instagram. We were also on Tumblr Radar at Christmas.

I love the timeless look of black and white pictures.

Don't worry! That snow is photoshop! I'd never let my best buddy sit outside in the cold. He's a senior dog and doesn't handle the cold all that well anymore.

My fella will be 11 (we think) this year. I think he looks pretty good for being about 70 in people years.

I love to add cute words and art to some of his pictures. I really do think Willie loves everyone he meets.

We would love to see all dogs wearing cozy handknit cowls! If you can knit, then you should knit for your dog! If you're not sure how, then I can help! Visit my website and get in touch!
