Review
If you're an avid knitter who's just wild about pets, then why not marry your two passions by knitting something they can wear or just lounge on during those "dog days of summer" that lie ahead? British knitwear designers Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne of Muir and Osborne will have you in stitches in no time with their recently published book, "Pet Projects: The Animal Knits Bible" (Taunton Press, $17.95). You'll be amazed at the fun projects featured in the book. Patterns include dog coats, a horse blanket, a ruffled dog collar, a hamster house, a wire bird feeder, a parakeet blanket and even a puppy papoose, perfect for bringing a dog (or kitten) home from the pet shop. --The Detroit News

Very Creative: for all animals!,
By Meghan Mulkerin "pruep3halliwell" (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pet Projects: The Animal Knits Bible (Paperback)
This book really tickled my fancy as I am a huge lover of animals and run a rescue, as well as being a crafty person and beginning knitters. There were tons of really neat, very innovative ideas for all kinds of different animals. Some projects that stood out were:
*A hutch curtain with carrot motif for your bunny *A wire knitted bird feeder *A turtle tent which can be for any small animal, and looks totally sweet! *koi flowers knitted from recyled plastic bags *a beautiful horse blanket *neat cat pillows *a rat/mouse mat for a cat (or a rat lover like me!) *a hidy house for a hamster or other small animal * adorable turtle plushie as seen on the cover My only qualms is I would have preferred a few more cat patterned items and maybe some items decorated with animal motifs for humans in there. I would definitely buy a part two with these items in it. Great book overall! I will update again after I have knitted some of the items! :)
