Dobby and Winky have Very short fur. So, I bought fabric to make rain coats to keep the doggies warm and dry on their walks. I know, optimistic considering the current state of drought. They say this is the driest winter on record. Anyway, this shiny black material seemed perfect for the purpose. Unfortunately, it has no hand. That means that it sticks straight out! Too funny!         And, once again, I went for a shortcut. When I made the first coat, I didn't bother clipping the curves of the neck to make the hood fit. Sigh. When will I learn? Shortcuts? Bad! ...Yes, I clipped away on the second neckline. I'm not going to show you, but the fit is quite different with and without.

And as it turned out, my sewing efforts were wasted. Dobby and Winky refused to move when we put the coats on them!

Another pair of socks for Benny. These are out of Zauerball.

I finished the towels. It's amazing how much they changed. Go back to the picture of them on the loom! I planned for three and ended up with two and a half. There was LOTS of shrinkage!!! I'll know next time! Towels are the Best samples ever!

I'm making an infinity scarf for my niece out of leftover wool from my sweater. (Stash busting once again! Woo, Hoo!)         Take a look at the stitch markers. I picked them up when I was in Boston at a neighborhood art fair. The maker had bracelets and necklaces for sale, all of which can be taken apart to be used as stitch markers.

What a great way to keep track of those markers when I'm done!
