FO: Fortune's Fair Isle Sweater
Thanks to the eagle eye of Ingrid, (she helped me understand something I just could not see) I was able to finish my very first fair isle project for my Yorkie, Fortune. It was supposed to be his Christmas present, but it has turned cold here so I gave it to him early!  Fortune thanks you Ingrid!

Oh boy! Another FO to look at! Fun! Fun!
And what a lovely little coat for your furry friend! Your fair isle is lovely, and your little Fortune looks toasty warm! (He also looks like he thinks he's in trouble, but maybe he's just worried or something--or perhaps this is his usual demeanor!) At any rate, good job on this one.

Thanks, he loves the darn thing for some reason. He has 2 homemade sweaters and one from the store and would always try and rub them off, eventually doing just that, but he doesn't do it with this one. Can't be the yarn, because I used the same brand, etc on the other two sweaters. Must be he like fair isle! lol How did your cat/doggy bed come out????

I got really sick with the flu for ten whole days, so I haven't felted it yet! 
I've read a lot of warnings about putting the knitted item inside pillow cases, or garment bags, to save your washing machine from becoming clogged with fuzz, ruined. But this unfelted doggy bed is too big for any pillow case!
Does anyone have a suggestion so I don't ruin my washing machine???  |

I'd take it to a laundromat and use one of the larger or largest machines.
