Since I am unable to work on my April sweater during my commute, I needed an alternate form of occupation. I had just over a hank left from Mike's birthday sweater; the perfect amount for a companion sweater.

Mike's birthday sweater is a (mostly) success. We're going to try to block more length/less width after a second soak AND/OR I may pick up and rib with smaller needles around the bottom edge. What do you think?

Danger is pleased with his sweater. It's impossible to find store-bought sweaters for his unusual body shape. I catered to his build and added some rear leg stirrups to help keep it in place.  Dulce is very jealous; she made it vocally apparent when we went down back without her. So, I see a pink variety of a similar kind in our near future as well.

Hi, I just linked to your blog from Sew Retro and noticed the pic of your pooch. Is he a corgy mix of some sort? His face looks more pit-bull, but his body looks very corgy. Just wondering. I love the sweaters too.

Great sweaters! Your husband's looks fantastic and the dog's is very cute.

Adding more ribbing is a great way to add length. Assuming you knit it bottom up, any sts you pick up will be staggered half a st. But if you rip or cut off the ribbing you've done and start ribbing from there it won't be noticeable. It may not show to just pick up and knit from the bottom edge, too, since your yarn is pretty fine. Sorry for the novel to say yes, good idea ;)
