Samoyed Dog Book Is Quite A Yarn
The Crafty Samoyed Knits $35.00

Peggy Gaffney’s The Crafty
Samoyed – Knits is a dog book that’s different.
Author/knitting designer/dog breeder, Peggy Gaffney’s first book in
The Crafty Dog Books series takes purebred dogs from the show ring
to haute couture design.
The Crafty Samoyed – Knits, describes
in stories and photos activities enjoyed by dogs and their owners today.
The author then uses her creative ability to illustrate those events as
charted intarsia knitting patterns. The designs portray Samoyeds in
breed, obedience, agility, herding, sledding and more. Included are
directions for many sweaters and accessories on which knitters work
these designs. She even provides practical advice on using dog hair in
the knitting. Gaffney claims readers “don’t even need to know how to
knit” to use the over 25 different patterns in the book, since
directions are given for working the designs using duplicate stitch onto
readymade sweaters.
Peggy Gaffney’s 37 years breeding Samoyed show dogs provided experience
for her couture design business, creating custom knit sweaters for
exhibitors. She brought her unique fashions to the dog show ring. Her
skill in capturing the precise image of the dog and translating it into
attractive knitting designs won much acclaim including invitations to
exhibit her work at the AKC National Championship and Westminster. Now
all knitters can work these patterns with The Crafty Samoyed – Knits.
Stories describe all
the activities of the Samoyed....
...which are then turned into knitting designs.
More than 20 patterns for sweaters in sizes from infant to men's 2X, hats, mittens, scarves, afghans, pillows and Xmas stockings.
More than 25 designs of Samoyeds in action to be worked into these patterns.
