The Crafty Golden Retriever-Knits: Knitting Projects for Dog Lovers by Gaffney, Peggy - 2007

Kanine Knits, 2007. Trade paperback. Very Good. 10x8x0. With portraits of Goldens hunting, rescuing a child, diving from a dock, and performing a myriad of other activities that make these dogs so distinctive. Only these portraits are created using knitting stitches. The knitted portraits appear as more than 20 charted graphs that knitters may work into any of the 24 sweater and accessory patterns included. Peggy Gaffney has, since 1997, been creating portraits of dogs in knitting for clients at her Kanine Knits studio. This was an obvious choice of career for a lifelong knitter who has been active in the world of dogs since 1968. Peggy's work has been seen at shows such as the AKC Eukanuba Tournament of Champions and Westminster as well as being the subject of newspaper and magazine articles and television interviews. A scarced craft title.
