Fi Sweater / Whitney

I knit this on my Brother 950I in 1990. It now fits me as I am 100lbs lighter! I used about 50 colours, all Shetland 4ply(fingering).
Whitney being cute. She is a madam and now has a sore thorat and sounds like parrot instead of a squaking seagull whne she gets put in her playpen. She is FULL TO THE BRIM of herself, just what I want in show bitch/breeding bitch. Her father is the dog I am going to mate Shameless to. Hi picture is below.

What a great lot of eye candy! The dogs are beautiful, and the sweater is gorgeous. I bet you were psyched to be able to put that on again!

The sweater you have on is really beautiful Colin. Looks great on you too. Super job.

Thanks for all the pictures of the puppies. I really enjoy them. Of course Whitney looks cute as a button. What sweet faces the babies have.

The 'gentlemanly' father-to-be has outstanding coat. What a beauty he is. Do you sell some of the babies for pets? I bet you have a waiting list a mile long. It is a good thing I don't live close by. I would be on that waiting list.

What a puppy! and what a sweater! You sure did a lot of color changes, but it was worth it. I can't believe you have lost 100 pounds, either. That has to take a lot of pressure from your joints.

Hi Colin this sweater is amazing...I prefer handknitting ok I have to prefer it I don't have a knitting machine rofl! However, it is lovely, I hope you are feeling much improved, as one who has ibs it can be controlled by diet and meds if you know you have it. Your fur babies are lovely as ever, Here's many wishes to you being at best form soon,

That sweater is beautiful and it looks great on you! Congrats on the
weight loss. Also, I really liked you Popeye socks. I actually do
like the way the colors formed stripes. I think it looks very nice.

Whitney is adorable.

Colin,

Using the 50 colors was an excellent use of your creativity! I love such
a challenge and you did very well with this sweater. All of your puppies
are so cute. If I were one of your buyers, I would have a very tough
time choosing a puppy. Hope you get over the noro virus soon.

Colin, that is an incredible sweater! And you look fabulous in it. Must be
just that much more satisfying to know that you worked so hard to fit into
it.

Those dogs of yours are incredibly cute, too.

Wow - you do cut a dash in that jumper - it takes real skill to get such a lovely effect with so many colours - if I were to try it would look like an artist's impression of a migraine!

But a blog post with two focal points? How can any jumper compete with cute puppy?
