Aren't they handsome?
Lola's jumper is handspun HF Corriedale, quite thickly spun. I had 190g of fibre and spinning got done in just a few hours. The knitting itself, mere 4 hours, done in two evenings. Yay for bulky!
Floyd's jumper is Donegal tweed, pretty and manly for my boy.It is little bit looser than I wanted it to, but I'm sure he'll felt and shrink it in no time.
(Floyd's been rolling on a white wool rug that sheds. But isn't it nice? Like a giant stockinette fabric!)
The pics are taken in the new studio.
Picture tour of our new and awesome studio to come soon! We are still missing few bits here, like a sofa.

Oh my goodness! They are so adorable, and the sweaters fit them perfectly!
Ĺwietne kubraczki :)
What cuties!
I have been trying to find a well-fitting jumper for my curly coated retriever (which has no curls and no coat). These look perfect but of course they are way too small for a retriever. Do you have any plans of publishing the pattern in different sizes?
The sweaters are gorgeous. My dog is half springer and half pointer. I think she would wreck a sweater if I made her one running through bushes and everywhere but I would be tempted.
those two must be the best dressed dogs in your area:)) handspun for a dog? I use my dogs' hair for spinning, but she won't get it back! luckily she has a much longer coat than yours, so no sweaters needed for her....
I wish my dogs had spin-able hair :)
I wrote up a recipe here http://www.ravelry.com/projects/beatka/no-swatch-doggie-jumpers
I know that making a dog jumper in handspun might seem quite decadent, but the wool is medium/stronger and it is such a quick project. And Lola LOVES her jumpers.
