This week, I decided that I would try my hand at crocheting our dog a sweater. I found the perfect pattern at yarnspirations.com and grabbed the only yarn that I knew would probably be enough for the sweater. Little did I know that our dog is so oddly porportioned. SHe has the head and mid section of a large breed dog (German Shepherd) but she is as short (in length and height) as a medium size dog. This explains why any sweater we get her is either way too small, around or way to long. Needless to say, I had to modify the pattern and fight her several times, after having her try on the unfinished product. She is the only dog I know who actually likes wearing her collar and her sweaters.
Here is a picture of the finished product:

Then, after I posted the picture of the finished sweater on Facebook, I was asked to make a sweater for a friend's cat. I didn't know that was a thing, but I have never been one to turn a challenge down. So I went in search of a sweater for cats and found one at my go-to place for patterns. ravelry.com
Here's the
pattern. It is not mine, in any way, shape or form. However, I did think it was easy and even though my cat hates me for the time being, I think it turned out great.
