Kanine Knits Books & Patterns in a publishing company that specializes in providing craft books and patterns for people who love animals. The Crafty Dog Knits book series by author/designer Peggy Gaffney takes a individual dog breed, writes about what makes it unique and then creates 25 charted designs of the dogs in action to be knit into the many patterns of sweaters and accessories. Peggy Gaffney is the author of nine knitting books of intarsia designs. The Craft Dog Knits books include, "The Crafty Samoyed - Knits", "The Crafty Labrador Retriever - Knits", "The Crafty Golden Retriever - Knits", "The Crafty Bernese Mt Dog Knits", "The Crafty Newfoundland Knits", "The Crafty Welsh Corgi Knits", and "The Crafty Poodle Knits". In addition in 2010, The Crafty Pet Knits series was introduced with the addition of "The Crafty Cat Knits" for cat lovers who enjoy knitting and "The Crafty Llama and Alpaca Knits" for those knitters who enjoy working with yarn made from the fleece of these wonderful animals. To fill the demand by pet lovers who have not had a book created about their breed, Kanine Knits has published more than 100 individual charted sweater pattens with each showing an individual in a realistic design.
