    About

    So sad .... this has been lost in the post! As I went to Ireland during the summer of the pandemic, unable to travel to Spain, I arranged for the sweater to be posted to Hazlo. But it’s disappeared... the Spanish postal service is notorious.
    I adapted the original fox pattern so it looks like the family dog,. But Zade has floppy ears not little pointy ones so after several attempts and much unravelling I realised that I could add on a little floppy ear ... and that looks right.
    When it was finished, I wish I hadn’t woven in the colours on the front as it changed the texture - but I can live with it... The hot weather in May, during lockdown, meant it took longer to complete than I expected, but it’s raining again now so it’s finally done. Next, I just have to get it to my grandson in Spain for the winter.....
    (Now that it’s gone missing, I’ll just have to knit another one, maybe to depict their new puppy)

      Beautiful, the dog looks so lifelike. Nice colours as well.
      You could try blocking the jumper, it may help with the floats on the front, but it looks fine as it is. Once your grandson grows out of it, you could frame the jumper for him to keep.
