Mary & Kimberly Save Tiny Dog's Life
Because we love our Threadbared readers so very much, we decided to answer a little reader mail:
Dear Threadbared,
I am a HUGE Star Wars fan. I've spent years growing out my hair so that I can get the trademark buns, I insist on calling my husband Han Solo in bed, and I've been injured on a number of occasions testing out my homemade light sabers. I even named my son Anakin. I only have one problem. I bought this cute little dog with the intention of using it as an Ewok in our role playing games. Wickett's a sweet dog, but he just doesn't quite look like an Ewok. My husband says that I should get over it, but I can't help thinking that there must be something I can do to make Wickett look more like this:
I know that you have access to some incredible Star Wars patterns . Please help me. I'm so upset about this. All the gold bikinis in the world can't make me feel better. If he's not transformed into an Ewok soon, I'm afraid that I'll just stop feeding him.
May the force be with you,
Eager for Ewok in Edinborough
Dear Eager,
Have no fear. Here at Threadbared we have the perfect pattern for every occasion and this is no exception. We need only to turn to our crafty Japanese friends for the answer to your Ewok emergency:
Now eat up, Wickett, while you still can.
Peace and Patterns,
Mary & Kimberly

I come to your site regularly for a good laugh. The Ewok dog nearly had me falling off my chair.

I'm sorry, but that's cruelty to animals. Where's the SPCA when you need 'em?

Oh man, I have that dog knitting/crocheting book. I bought it for a knit blog friend of mine, but haven't been able to part with it yet. Too funny.

The writing in the corner reads "kono de-zi-n wa fu-rii si-zu desu" or "this design is furry-sized" Do you suppose that means that large breeds are SOL?
Posted by: Liz | Jul 11, 2005 1:00:51 AM
Doesn't it actually mean "free size" (one size fits all)?
But either way, big dogs are SOL.
Kind of like me when I try to buy pants in this country (Japan).

Okay, people who dress their dogs annoy me. People who do this to their dogs should be given an Alpo enema.

ROFL! Oh my! I should not read this blog at work... ::wipes tears from her eyes:: Oh my...

Molly totally needs that. Who here knits?

A friend of mine has a neighbor who actually named her son Anakin. Really. And has a license plate holder that reads "My other ride is your boyfriend". Lovely family, really.

Okay, this is verbatim: ::looks at Ewok Doggie:: "What the fuck?! That is amazing!"

To Christy:
Okay, yeah, furi is *usually* "free" but it could be "furry", it could be! >^_^< With another letter or too, I'm sure omitting the letters was just a typo on the manufacturers part... ahem. Anyway, it is pretty funny that they basically wrote the label in English, ne?

I hereby sentence anybody who puts any dog in this to wear it around for a month. Case dismissed.
I should SO be a judge on People's Court.
