Lisa's Dogs Neo (pictured) and Rene' (see "Dottie sweater") wanted to keep the tradition Dottie started. Lisa collected hair when she brushed both dogs and kept the hair in large zip lock bags. She had no idea that the "boys and I had a surprise in store for her on Christmas day. The hat and scarf are both knitted in a lace weight yarn. The yarn is 2ply one pure Border Leister the second a blend of Neo and Rene' hair. I wanted the mittens to be denser and able to stand up to frequent use, to achieve this I used 2 strands of the yarn. When the scarf is laid out you can see the bands of color from the dogs coats it creats a wonderful effect.
