Live Video Chat - Help! My dog Won't wear His Sweater! | Posh Pooch Designs

This Weeks Question for Our Live Video Chat is
 "Help, I bought my dog a sweater and 
they will not wear it, Why not?
The Answer to Your Question is,
 "It does not smell good to them!" 

See the Live Video Chat on my Youtube Channel
at this Link
Dogs are Creatures of smell and scent.
That's why they sniff stuff, like other dog's butts.
A Dog will eat or lick weird things if it smells 'good".

The Sweater needs to smell like a smell the dog likes.
Well, how do we do that?

There are a couple of things that will work.
When your buy or make a sweater, hat or even a new blanket for your dog you need to get it to smell good to them.
So first off, the day before you want them to wear it,
 rub it on your arm, or leg to get your sent on it.
They love you and will like it if it smells like you.

Another thing you can do is place the new item in their crate or bed, under their blanket. But not when they are laying on it.
 They may tear it up. But after they leave their spot lay the new item under their blankets and leave it their.
 It will get their sent on it.

The 2nd part of the Question 
" Does my dog really need a sweater?"

Most dogs do not, it is just fun to dress them up.
 But Dogs who do need a sweater are inside dogs who 
are not used to the cold. Also hairless dogs and cats.
Just watch your dog and see if they are cold, and you make the decision.

Live Video Chat - How To Join Granny Squares Together and Whats new at Posh Pooch Designs | Posh Pooch Designs

Today's Live Video Chat we will be talking about 
How to join Granny Squares together.
And What's is new this Week at Posh Pooch Designs



See the Live Video Chat on my Youtube channel at this LINK

To tell you the truth, there are literally 1,000s of ways to join granny squares.
I have 3 favorite ways, or methods,
 that work for different types of Granny Squares.
I have Given each method a name..
It is probably not the 
"Official Name", Just what I call them.

 See a Video demo of the 3 Method's of joining Granny Squares
on my Youtube Channel at this LINK


1. Sew Together Method
Place the Squares with front sides together.
With a needle threaded with yarn, whip stitch the
 squares together using the outside loops of the stitches.
Great For smaller projects and squares you want 
stitched closely together.

2. Crochet Together Method
Place the Squares with front sides together.
With your crochet hook, join yarn to the 1st corner, 
sc the squares together
using the outside loops of the stitches.
My favorite method for blankets and Throws.

3. Granny Square Method
Place your squares with the wrong sides together 
with the right sides facing out.
Join yarn to the ch 3 space of the 1st corner, ch 3, 2dc.
Stitch 3 dc in the 1st corner of the 2nd square.
place 3 dc in the each ch 3 space moving back and forth
 from one square to the other.
Place 3 dc in the each of the last 2 corners, tie off.
This methods is great for ponchos, wraps, scarves and tops.
