The GP dress slays me primarily because it’s no simple St st pattern with a little 1×1 rib trim. Noooo, this has … Bells at the hem? Check. Quatrefoil eyelet stitch throughout the body of the dress? Indeed! Somewhere, there is a Breton 12 cable version of this pattern, along with one done in four color mosaic and another in entrelac. Mark my words.

Love your blog, Stitchy.

I made a Dogosaurus Rex two years ago for CJ, my sister’s shepherd mix (in Karabella Aurora 8 or the equivalent Zara merino; it’s been a while… um, neither of us have kids so it seemed like a reasonable expense at the time). Anyway, when we put it on the dog on Xmas morn, she got strangely submissive. She’d never worn a sweater, and the cat came over and sniffed her suspiciously, backed off, and hid on top of the entertainment center. CJ sloooowly slid down to a crouch and wouldn’t move until we removed the sweater. It was hilarious and a little cringe-making.

I found the spikes a bit tricky and so decided to pick them up in pairs on the sweater and then stitch them together around the outside edges. I’m not sure if the result was an improvement. I like picking up stitches, though, so it was a pleasant divertissement.

Just a quick warning-guinea pigs, in my experience, will eat anything you put near them unless they are supervised. The vest may become a snack if left on too long. But it’ll be cute while it lasts!

I LOVE G-Ps!!!! what a great idea! Growing up, over a course of 5 years, I probably had a total of 20 of the cuties. One day when I’m a rich and famous artist (hah!) and can afford 175deposit plus $10/month pet rent (pet rent?!) I’ll get a couple! I can’t wait to see it!

glad to see you’re using that geisha….mine is all still hanging out someone in the black hole of my closet

Max is one lucky dog. I’m two spikes away from being done my very own “Dogosaurus Rex” for my terrier-collie-beagle mix, Rosie. It is a super-fun knit. Enjoy!

A friend loaned me an old Elle pattern book, and I copied some of the items which belong in the MOKS. How can I send the photos to you? My PC was on the fritz so I couldn’t just scan them. I have the Uber-Linebacker Zip Cardi, the Channeling the 1940s Total Frizz-out Boatneck, the wholly embarrassed kid in the Cherry Bobble Cardi, etc.
