A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Keen on canines and a sucker for stitching? A new collection of patterns shows you how to combine your passions and knit your own pooch. The knitwear designers Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne share two great loves: knitting and dogs. And their latest project, Best in Show: Knit Your Own Dog, is the love child. This wryly photographed book contains the knitting patterns for 25 dogs, from the fairly straightforward dachshund to the more challenging old English sheepdog and Afghan hound. You can knit your very own royal corgi, Lassie or even Bo, the Obamas' super-trendy Portuguese water dog. --The Saturday Telegraph, 11th September 2010

They might just be the perfect pet... fluffy and cute, but with no vet's bills, feeding or pooper-scooping required. A new knitter's guide lets you make your own man's best friend from wool - or to put it another way, "stitch your own bitch". The book of doggy knitting patterns shows you how, with simple knit, purl and loopy stitches, to conjure up your own canine companion. You can choose a pedigree pooch or mix and match breeds and design your own mongrel from a selection of canine components. Knit the legs and tail of a poodle on a labrador and, hey presto, you have your very own labradoodle. Just don't expect it to fetch your slippers... --The Sunday Mirror, 12th September 2010
