Publisher's Synopsis
The Crafty Samoyed Knits was the first in a collection of breed specific knitting books, highlighting all those characteristics that make those dogs special. The collection of designs displays the many activities Samoyed dogs do and the looks and personality that endears them to their owners. This color updating of the book contains more than twenty five charted designs to be worked into the twenty five knitting projects including sweater and accessories. Designs range in size from infant up through men's 2x depending on the garment. The charts are in full color and are accompanied by a series of articles discussing the many activities in which the breed participates. Photos illustrate both these activities and the garments throughout. Author Peggy Gaffney has been showing and breeding her Samoyeds of Westernesse dogs since 1968 and has used those years of experience to inspire a collection of picture knit dog designs which now appear in her books and pattern collection. The Crafty Samoyed Knits was the first of the books in the Crafty Dog Knits collection which includes books for owners of Labs, Goldens, Newfoundlands, Bernese Mt Dogs, Poodles, and Welsh Corgis.
