The. Snowflake. Shawl!

by 9 Comments

I’m an early riser. Anywhere between 5 and 6 AM my body just jumps out of bed. Usually takes my head a few minutes to catch up, look at the clock, argue with my body about what my eyes are seeing on the clock and finally, succombing to the fact that I am, indeed, awake.
This morning it wasn’t between 5 and 6 AM. It wasn’t even between 4 and 5 AM. It was 3 AM. Seriously, people. 3 AM!
And just what fueled this amazing feat of ambition that took me from horizontal to vertical in 2.6 seconds? The realization that:
I. Must. Knit. This!:

  1. I love your early morning saga, how fun! I am fairly slow in the morning, but I do sit cross-legged in bed and felt or knit, while I watch the news until nine 🙂
    This Winter Wonderland Shawl is exquisite and I wish I had the patience to make one 🙁

    I looked at a pattern, but there was now needle size?

  8. I stumbled across your blog while trying to find what different people thought of this shawl. Like you I am in a MUST KNIT THIS mode about it. I was wondering, did you ever make it?

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?
