Hi all! I'm getting ready for the arrival of my little guy Oliver on Saturday!! I am so excited it's all I can think about everyday...
So I want to knit him a little sweater and am wondering if anyone has a pattern they like to use. I made one I found in a book the other night that turned out a bit on the large side, oops

Any suggestions??? Thanks!!

I am sorry I forgot to welcome you also. I sometimes get ahead of my self and forget my manners.

be sure and post some pics of Oliver and the sweater.

if you need other patterns there are lost of them out there. I search for new ones all the time. I crochet most everything. I can knit but i am very slow at it.

Hold on to the sweater that you think is too big. My Yorkie totally fell out of the first clothes I bought for him --- and believe it or not - I almost returned them. BUT a month later, they fit him just fine - and now a couple months later, he has outgrown them.

Do you have a Michaels near you? They have a free pattern now for a sweater - really cute!! It is on the wall where they hang all the freebie patterns.

Like I have to make it - or sew or something -- That's not going to happen.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could hire a seamstress for my dog???????

So its official! Oliver will fly in Saturday at 6:20!!!
I can't wait to pick him up... I made 2 more sweaters for him that turned out smaller than my first attempt. One even has a cute hood!
Can't wait until I have pics to post of him... be on the lookout Sunday morning!
