The on going saga of the vintage tweed jacket is finally drawing to a close, I've just got to hand stitch in the lining and give it a final iron and it'll be done! I'm pretty excited to wear it again, I've missed this little jacket, it's one of my favourites. It's been a good learning experience though, I now know how to reline a vintage jacket, very useful!
The other work in progress is a jumper for Pickle, my friend's corgi. She's not very well at the moment so I thought to cheer her (well, mainly Alison, her owner) up, I'd knit her a little jumper. I'm trying it on her as I go and I think the fit should be OK, I'm finding the increases over the shoulders pretty confusing at the moment but the nice thing about knitting for a dog is that she's not going to notice or care if I get it wrong! I'm using the Bucalicious Sweater pattern off Ravelry so I'll keep you updated with my progress!

YAY for getting a favorite jacket back! I hate when something I love is broken/ripped, especially when it's vintage. First off, I have a corgi and OH MY GOD, that corgi stuffed animal you made is ADORABLE! I so want one! Second, how awesome of you to make Pickle a sweater! You're very smart to keep trying it on Pickle. Corgis are so oddly shaped, especially through the chest/shoulder area.
Haha, thank you! Hopefully I'll have photos of it on her soon!
