I've been sick. I have what should be a nuisance of a cold but due to the number of cigars I 'smoked' as a child, I now have a chronic lung problem. I haven't been able to do much other than knit, so I've made four chihuahua sweaters for my son's girlfriend's dog. They're a joy to knit and I'm planning at least four more.

I am so sorry you are ill and hope you soon improve. Take care.
The dogs clothes are great. I have tabby cats who would look wonderful in these but they're pretty woolly creatures anyway!
Look after yourself Susan.
Hope you are well again, Susan.
I particularly like the cable knit. What's next? Fairisle? Mohair? Dennis the Menace stripes - the variations are endless.
Get Well Soon, Susan! It's nasty not being able to catch your breath. My sympathies.
I am much impressed with these dog pullovers - particularly the fit and the polo-neck feature. How you manage to get them on? Do you have to squeeze them in or do they have hidden fastenings?
Hope you are feeling better soon. Horrid to be on less than full capacity.Those dogs look kinda cool - urrr - warm! I think stripes next - whadya think?
Thank you for the 'well' wishes, Jan, Minx, Clare and Chiefbiscuit. I'm feeling ninety percent better. This was a fairly severe one.
As to the sweaters, I've also knit a burgundy one and a baby blue and burgundy striped with a shorter collar. I got the basic pattern from the internet but changed it from the garter stitch of the original and I added a little hole at the neck for a leash. I'm planning at least four more: a Cowichan Indian style, a deep green for St. Patrick's day, red and green for Christmas and a pumpkin with green for the fall. My son is begging me to stop.
The wee dog is none too thrilled with the sweaters - they're wrestled on just the way you might put one on a baby - but they actually do warm the little fellow very nicely.
