Behind the stitches

Meet May
and Nacho.

It all started when I knit myself my first sweater… and immediately decided Nacho needed one too.

That first dog sweater was quite the crash course in turning a human sweater into something that would actually fit a dog, but somehow we made it work. After that, I started designing sweaters just for him, usually with something matching for myself.

Getting stopped on walks by people asking, “Wait… are you two matching?” brings me so much joy. Knowing other people are now having those same tiny matching-dog moments makes it even better.
