Oldie but a goodie if you like....




Border Collies!

Bought way back at one of the earliest Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters Fairs - a Mabel Corlett design with a border collie surrounded by sheep on the back - a two colour stranded design at the bottom.  I've knit the back - it's still on the needle I used.

The pattern is sized small, medium and large - no dimensions are given -
and medium is circled.  Sorry - no other sizing details available.

The kit uses Philosopher's Wool....and it's all here ready to go.  This is a great rugged yarn even if you choose not to finish the sweater - use the border collie section for a pillow perhaps? 

This yarn felts beautifully.

This kit is available for the price of postage to you!
I'm going to hold on to this for a week - it will leave my home
next Friday - either to go in the mail to someone, or
to be donated to our local Charity Shop.
(If perchance more than one hand goes up for it, I'll do a draw ok?)

All of my projects are carefully stored, away from direct sunlight,
in my no smoking home.  I do have pets - and yes, I can
see a white Westie hair that probably came off of the sweater
 I am wearing right now LOL!

  6. What a charming cardigan, and the hardest part is already done! Please include my name in your generous draw. I recently found your blog when looking for examples of Kate Davies' designs. You have knitted her designs beautifully and that is so inspiring.
    Thanks ... Alex in Burlington, ON
