 Knitting With Frog Hair: November 15, 2009

While living in the Himalayas, my underpants started to deteriorate. Since no stores exist, I had to find a natural fiber. I used Alpaca hair, Sheep Hair and Dog Hair to weave some new ones. They were sloppy to fit but actually worked; when I got back to Europe I got this book, Knitting With Dog Hair: Better A Sweater From A Dog You Know and Love Than From A Sheep You'll Never Meet.
It was a fun, dead read.
One thing I recommend is treating the Dog Hair in a natural liquid to kill fleas, before you weave it, as I was bitten extensively when I did not.
Also it is not humane to remove all of a dog's hair since he can suffer skin lesions or frost.

Hey Amazonians!
My name's Kibbles and I'm a golden retreiver! My mommy likes to give me treats and pet me, but she also loves to brush me more than anything else! Mommy tries to bring me everywhere with her, but sometimes I am not allowed in stores or restaurants! Mommy felt very sad without me! She was very happy when she read this book! Now she can make sweaters out of my hair, so when she's wearing them it's like I am with her! Mommy loves me!

 misleading cover July 19, 2009

My only complaint is the cover is misleading, there is a picture of a basset hound on the cover but you can't spin basset fur. I own a basset and bought the book because of the cover.
Wonderful November 19, 2008

I felt bad at first shaving my dog completely bald, but after I got the sweater made using this book, he now looks stylish in his own fur!
fantastic! October 28, 2008
