Nicki comes to The Needle Lady

Now that I've turned 50 and my children are starting to leave the nest, it is time for a new puppy. Come into the shop and meet Nicholas (Nicki) who is a 12 week old standard poodle and the new Needle Lady shop dog.

Nicki proved to be so cute that Colleen (who works Tuesday afternoon and Wednesdays) drove to Greensboro and picked up Roxy, Nicki's sister. Here she is......

Roxy is wearing a dog sweater meant for one of Susan Bashline's Yorkies and knit by her mother Doris during the snow. A great use of Debbie Bliss Luxury Tweed stash. Here is one of Susan's Yorkies in her own sweater.

Since the snow in Charlottesville just continued, Susan's other Yorkie also received a sweater from "grandma" knit out of Trendsetter's Tonalita.

Nicki is settling in well at The Needle Lady. He's made lots of friends and sometimes tries to blend in with his surroundings. Can you find Nicki in the Mountain Colors?

Here is a great shot of Vicki Thomas' new bulldog puppy in the snow. This guy is the reason I even started thinking about puppies again....

Finally, here is a great photo sent in by Lynne Brookfield (one of our favorite customers). Her granddaughter Molly sent her this photo.

She sent it to me with this message:

The Needle Lady's yarns get SEAL OF APPROVAL from feline.

I thought you might enjoy this email photo my granddaughter Molly sent me. Her cat is lying on cotton afghan I crocheted and is wrapped in a $40.00-a-skein-yarn Molly picked out at Needle Lady and knitted.

Please send us any of your "pet knitting" photos and we'd love to post them to the blog this week. Send the photos to info@needlelady.com.
