Cashmere for our "puppies":

Sadly,  my daughter and I have worn out many fine cashmere sweaters.  Today we found some patterns to turn old sweaters into doggie sweaters.  Our two are no longer "puppies but because they are so sweet, we still call them puppies and as such they deserve the best.... so cashmere it is.

How cozy. Our little one loves to make a sort of nest in her soft fuzzy blankets...wait till she gets the cashmere sweater !

So, we are in the  process of "felting" those hole-y sweaters which means washing them in hot water 2 or 3 times and then drying them on hot.  It makes the knitted stitches tighter and actually ends up like a very soft felt.

We are going to cut out the pattern and will let you know how it works over the next few weeks.

Here they are, cuddling up on a recent road trip.
