Today I was browsing books on knitting patterns, as I truly enjoy at least starting large knitting projects that I never actually finish. Then I ran across the most disturbing thing I’ve seen all day.

Knitting With Dog Hair: Better a Sweater from a Dog You Know and Love Than from a Sheep You’ll Never Meet

Um, WTF. I love my dogs, do not get me wrong. They are my kids, and I adore them. But there is no way in hell I am going to collect their copious amounts of dog hair to knit a damn sweater with. While I am crazy, and freely admit to being so, I am not THAT crazy.

Included were the reviews from the crazy ass people who have purchased this book. they included gems like:

I want a dog that I can brush, spin, and knit big soft golden retriever sweaters.

In this day and age, living in the states, we can be so wasteful. It was refreshing to find a book about recycling, that has nothing to do with paper and plastic.

At least I can go to sleep tonight comforted by the fact that there are still people more insane than I am

    food for thought:

    imagine that you step outside in your nice new dog-hair sweater. Oh no, it starts to rain! Your dog-hair sweater is now dripping wet!

    Think you’d smell like a wet dog? Or would you suddenly be overcome by the urge to shake yourself dry?
