This book has darling knitting projects for all sorts of pets. I made a ruffled collar for my daughter's dog. Easy and fun. There are patterns for horse blankets, turtle tents, kitty toys and dog sweaters that you do not have to knit but are made of old "people" sweaters. You can knit a bird cage cover. I find that my daughter and her friends spend a lot of money for pet gear and so hand-making something is rather appealing. They are glad to get (almost expect) a gift for the dog or cat from each other. It doesn't take long to knit a dog collar and the ones in the book are certainly unique. One neat item is a purple knitted turtle with a removeable shell. Fun.

TRULY A GREAT COMPILATION OF PET KNIT WEAR.....FUNNY THING IS, I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PET, BUT CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE A FEW THINGS FOR MY PET LOVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

I was able to preview this book before buying it - it was the Hamster House that caught my eye! Something DIFFERENT! I've seen enough dog sweaters, horse or other pet blankets & pillows, that's all yadda, yadda, yadda. There are a couple of cute toys in here, but the Hamster House takes the cake! The book, itself, caught a lot of attention when I shared it with the knitting club I attend every week, the photos are very nicely done.

This is a beautifully illustrated 144 page book titled; "Pet Projects" by Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne from "The Taunton Press".
