Knit Like A Ninja Day?

by 1 Comment

A little Ninja told me that today was supposed to be Knit Like A Ninja day! I can totally do that. I can do the stealth knitting thing with the best of them. Hmmmm, where should I do this? I don’t have to hide, good little Ninjas can be right in front of you and not seen. Lucky for you, that’s not my style. We’re a bit on the ungraceful and clumsy side (probably comes from physically moving pigs, cattle, and horses, not to mention hay bales and 100 lb sacks of grain), but that’s my other life, let’s get back to my knitting life.

Everyone knows that 11.15 marked the opening day of Deer Season. What??? You didn’t know that?

Wow! Stunned! Shocked! Speechless!

Everything a ninja isn’t supposed to be!

Let’s see, where will I be knitting today? Hubby’s deer blind? Hiding in the basement? Sitting right in front of you? You’ll never know, and you’ll never see me! I’m stealthy like that. Clumsy, yet stealthy!

haaa haaaaa, maybe I’ll have a finished object to show you? Maybe not! You never know now, do you…….

  1. I have been seen knitting while huning..with my gun or bow. I have taken my sock knitting with and knit while sitting in a tall tree stand or while sitting on the ground waiting for DH to return to get me from where he left me…I get lost very easily so I always stay where he wants me to be so that he won’t have to call out the search and rescue squad!

    Thank you for the comments on my blog. The pattern and yarn can be purchased at Rosemarys Gift shop..she has it all in stock, books and yarn colors! http://www.maine-crafts.com/ Rosemary is such a wonderful person and she is always ready to please the customer…give her site a look and then email her. She uses a lot of the links from the companies whose yarn she carries.

    Take care and KNIT ON!

    In Maine where it is 57F and it shouldn’t be!

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?
