Day 8 and 9 Winners

by 3 Comments

day 8 and 9 winnersI hope everyone was busy watching the Olympics, knitting or doing something else fun over the weekend! I got a little knitting done on something I’ll share with you on Tuesday, and spent way too much time out in the Arkansas summer heat and had to take a day to recuperate!

But enough about me, on to the winners. The winner of The Olympknits is commenter number 16, Andrea, who said she will watch “literally anything” they show of the Olympics on TV.

The winner of the Zen of Socks DVD and cards is number 32, Joyce, who is working on a placemat, a frilly scarf and a shawl. Better add some socks to the list!

Congratulations, everyone! If my math is right after today you have seven more chances to win!

  1. I have been watching the olympics all that I can watch. I even record it when I am away. We (USA) are doing great!

    I have a scarf and a vest on the needles right now. I watch and knit. GREAT!
    Could it get any better ?

  2. I’m working on an afghan for a viet nam vet while watching some gymnastics. Gabby is from my state, so we are all cheering her on to win the gold!

  3. Thanks for choosing my number! I’m thrilled to win this dvd so I can start making some lovely socks. Do I need to do anything to claim the prize?

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
