mr. gibbs

Mr. Gibbs is my coworker Anna's little canine companion.  He's a dapper and saavy sort of fella, so it was only fitting that he too sported a new bow tie. 

[And yes, you'll notice it's the same colour as Lucy's, I have a rather large roll of powder blue yarn.]

a bow for lucy

I finally made a knit bow tie for my four-legged pal Lucy.  It's not purple, but this colour of soft blue works well with her colouring and matches the living room decor as well.

Over the holidays, I also made up these fun knit bow ties for the dogs in our family - my parents dog Mac and my sister's dog Izzie.  Lucy's bow tie hasn't been made yet, I've been looking for a vibrant purple to match her collar.

a cute striped scarf for a cute little girl

If you're looking for a super simple knit project that's a big hit with the kids - this striped pom pom scarf is it.  It's a garter stitch alternating 4 rows of a multicoloured pink yarn with 4 rows of a white yarn.  Make big pouffy pom poms and this one is done!  Add an adorable little girl who just happened to have on a coordinating shirt and it's over the top!

a great idea
