Meet Designer Peggy Gaffney

"The Sweater Lady" has carved a place in the world of pure bred dogs today
with her uniquely knitted canine portraits .
Based in Connecticut, this designer, now turned author, has knit her one-of-a-kind portrait sweaters for owners of some of the top show dogs in the US, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. This lead her to create a series of books celebrating individual breeds with knitted portraits. She has also designed over 100 pattern leaflets for breed that haven't had their books written yet. Her artistic designs have been praised in newspaper and magazine articles and have been the subject of numerous television interviews. Her sweaters may be seen at selected dog shows throughout New England as well as at the AKC Tournament of Champions and Westminster Kennel Club.
