Crafting For Pets

In Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne’s new craft book, Pet Projects: The Animal Knits Bible, the talented pair tackles the weirdly wonderful world of crafting for pets. Equally brilliant as a coffee table book or practical guide, Muir and Osborne unveil such radical inventions as the Puppy Papoose and Tortoise Hibernation Tent. In an interview with the New York Times, Ms. Muir describes how her hamster model interacted with the lovingly hand-knit Hamster House, “He did exactly as I expected. He lived in it for a day, then he ate it. Then he bit me.” For the (slightly) less whimsical pet owner, there are a variety of cat cushions, dog coats, and ruffly collars to knit, as well as carrot curtains (for your rabbit hutch, of course!) and knitted pets. Let’s take a peek inside…
