  2. Tugs says:

    I wonder if I could do this for my pigs?

  3. mollye says:

    I WONDER IF MY KITTIES WOULD LIKE A NEW SWEATER? ;)

  4. Saint Stryfe says:

    Ahhh… a reference back to my all-time favorite CO, Peenk Sweaateuw!

  5. oaklandcat says:

    shouldn’t that be kick-tocks sweateuw? :)

  6. miu says:

    Kool and kyoot!
    Kits beware, you’ll wear one – with machingk pants. :)

  7. Skwerl says:

    That is brilliant! My mini-pin gets awful chilly, and her size is popular, therefore sold out. But there are plenty of fleecy, cute and fuzzy socks out there.
    Thank you sweater maker person!

  8. Renee says:

    So smart! So cute!!

  9. demolitionwoman says:

    I know a yorkie who needs wunna them…except she’s pleasantly plump, so she’ll need an extra-stretchy sock.

    sooooo cute!

  10. gooeyctr says:

    Aiyeee! Must … resist … urge to cut up all my socks!

  11. Veronica says:

    Come on, I can’t be the only one singing this!

    Step one, cut a hole in the sock
    Step two, put your kit in the sock
    Step three, make her wear the sock

    It’s my kit in a sock!

  12. Subhangi says:

    Yay! What a great idea!

  13. celia says:

    oh man, i love this! do they sell extra large argyle for mini schnauzers? adorable.

  14. lurkingsmirk says:

    OMG Veronica that’s hilarious…and the puppy looks so warm and snuggly…the cap really makes the outfit.

  15. NYgirly says:

    should i get soccer socks (extra long!) for my dachshunds? ^^

  16. kk3 says:

    NYgirly, you made me laugh! I sent this to my girlfriend who has a Yorkie. Piper will look just adorable!

  17. Claire says:

    So cute! So cute! Great post! Anerable York! Thank you Meg!

  18. Theo says:

    One!
    you cut a hole in your socks
    Two!
    you put your dogs in the socks
    Three!
    you go for walkies in socks

    …and that’s the way we do it

  19. Theo says:

    oh DANGIT VERONICA! baroooooo

    (ruff crowd)

  20. butterr says:

    Ach! My Boston is much too large and square for the sock awesome! Unless I made her leg warmers…

  21. metsakins says:

    yay for yorkie outfit but double yay for Peenk Sweaateuw.

    my all time favorite too!

  22. Theresa says:

    Yorkie: “But Ah dinna laike ARGYLLLLE!!!!!!!”

  23. OMG TOO cute!!!! Great idea!!!

  24. leah b. says:

    I need to see this applied to a yorkie for this to go together. Theo you’re funny what size sock would bounce need ? LOLOLOLOL

  25. Ex-Network Geek says:

    The last picture is the best. The dog is all like, “dang, the whole hat and sweater thing was really annoying, but if it gets me this kinda lovin’ then I’m down with it.”

  26. DKN says:

    OMG!!! Yorkie Sweateuw!!

    *splode*

  27. Seven Paws says:

    This even beats Project Runway!

  28. Sara says:

    *blink*
    *blink* *blink*

    *splode*

  29. kel13123 says:

    you know, the sock sweater itself is a great idea, and the little yorkie McYorkersons is perfect, but when i saw the toe sock hat…SQUEEEEE

  30. Yitzysmommie says:

    Very Adorable. I immediately thought that my Granddog Buddha, a ShihTzu, needs one. But it would hafta be a larger sockie I’m thinking….

  31. liz says:

    hmmm.
    wonder how i could make this work for a Bernese Mountain Dog.
    think I’ll need a bigger sock!

  32. Redzilla says:

    I wonder…could you turn a sock into a sweater for a … monkey?

  33. tbirdie says:

    Ooooh, now I know what went wrong with the Purrito.

    “The leg holes! OMG I forgot the leg holes!”

  34. jess e. says:

    There’s a definite “Ye shall perish fer this” look in Yorkie’s eyes in Step 2. But all is forgiven by snorgles.

  35. MissV says:

    When our little chi Stella was a baby, there were no sweaters small enough to fit her (she weighed 12 ounces when we brought her home!), so my husband made her one out of the elastic-y top of a tube sock. Kept her just warm enough that she didn’t shiver all the time.

  36. Babs says:

    Dammit, Meg, now that song is stuck in my head again! Took weeks to get it out after the pink sweateuw. Argh (-yle)!

  37. Subhangi says:

    Veronica and Theo – is the song you’re referring to “D**k in a box” (that Justin Timberlake-Adam Sandberg one?)

  38. Theo says:

    Samberg… but otherwise you’re right on.

  39. Miss Ruth says:

    This is very much like my favourite CO pick of all time, too:
    http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/04/were_getting_ou.html

    Argyle is so perfect for a Yorkie.

  40. Kara says:

    I’m wondering the same thing about piggie-sweaters. But there’s that whole thing about near-lack of neckage.

  41. Christine says:

    This might be the best CO post, ever.

  42. jaypo says:

    too freakin cute!

  43. Theo says:

    KWANZAA! (yorkies in sox!)

    halp… earworm gots me…

  44. Annie says:

    I don’t think my kitties would fit in this sock… oh wait maybe lilac, she of the svelt siamese kitty body… Hmmmmm evil plotting going on in my head.:)

  45. Annie says:

    Earworm…. rolls eyes… I guess i gotta go look the song up since I don’t know the song… Cause Earworm songs are usually the best songs of all.

  46. Annie says:

    Okay well worth the hunt still laughing. Veronica thank you for mentioning it. OMG I will be singing it all day and that skit was hysterical.

  47. RJ says:

    hmmmmm….. I’m trying to think how to justify making my kitties wear sock sweateuws, when it’s like 90 degrees and 80% humidity down here in Miami…. Good use for the socks since I never wear them myself anymore…. Is there a donation site for sweateuw-less small doggies and kitties?

  48. oaklandcat says:

    Redz- :-)

    [me too - Ed.]

  49. anner says:

    oh boy. crafts! if i had a baby sock, i could make one of these for a rattie…and if i could only find a really really big sock, i could make a matchink one for myself!

  50. AuntieMame says:

    I suppose you could create your own line of human-sized sock clothing. Judging by this thread, there is a market for that kind of thing.

    I’ve seen duct tape outfits. Why not knitted socks?

  51. Subhangi says:
  52. Mandy says:

    Socks make great sweaters! I used to make sweaters out of socks for my Sphynxes, but they got a little too big. Toe socks (i.e. socks with toes like gloves) are best because they’re straight–no curve for the heel. Also, they make them in some great fabrics!

  53. Mary (the first) says:

    Subhangi, thanks for the article. Lucky little lion to be raised as a “stuf muffin”!:) Good news. Now for the sock, I can’t imagine putting that cap on anyone but I can see cutting off part of the “turtle neck” portion to make a round strip, and making a little head band out of it instead of having a cap. The kind that goes around and just covers up the earsies to keep them warm. That also allows a little more length at the back end if it’s needed.

  54. Mary (the first) says:

    oops I meant, “stud” muffin.

  55. that pup is one snappy dresser !

    and what a great way to use those lonely, single socks in your drawer !

  56. chelonianmobile says:

    Hee! Wonder if my new ferret would put up with being clothed. (Yes, I’ve finally got the ferret I wanted since I was eight! Yay!)

  57. ThreeCatNight says:

    How about using an oversized, cozy wool mitten?

  58. J says:

    Would this work for rabbits? I desperately want to make a sweater for my bunny.

  59. you guys r silly says:

    how cute! the little cap with the earsies sticking up out of it are teh best!
    &:o)

  60. Kar says:

    Wasn’t there some discussion on a sweater category? For the misc apples, trees, penguins, orphaned babies, etc.

  61. estace says:

    The hat is too cute! We fashioned a similar sweater out of a shrunken sleeve for our kitten Penny! http://flickr.com/photos/greenpointkitty/1143447184/

  62. NYgirly says:

    liz:
    u could use a human tube dress for your berny! ^^

  63. lurkertype says:

    THE HAT, people, the hat!

    The sweateuw is fab enough, but the hat just makes the outfit.

    The clear directions are also a plus.

    (Also, the song “D*ck In A Box” won an Emmy last weekend. Srsly. It’s an award-winning earworm.)

  64. Theo says:

    Aren’t Emmy awards for TV shows? You mean Grammy, maybe? (And… NO WAI!)

  65. dran says:

    lewks lyke uh peenus

  66. Theo says:

    Eye of the beholder, Dran.

  67. JazzKate says:

    Theo – YES WAI!!

    It was an Emmy. But it should definitely win a Grammy too!

  68. JazzKate says:
  69. Jen says:

    For all of you wanting larger socks, think old Christmas stockings!

  70. Mary (the first) says:

    I now am thinking those two polar bear cubs could use some sweaters! It was 30 below, after all! Definitely sweater weather!

  71. Bouncy says:

    you forgot 2 steps.
    step 4: ???
    step 5: profit!

  72. Summer R. says:

    Zomg. Imagine my shock at seeing this here, just as I was telling a co-worker all about my first CO submish EVAR!

    The Yorkie sweater shall live forever in internets infamy. :D

  73. Yubi Shines says:

    You cut the line in the argyle-sock, you wear ‘em both up
    You cut the line in the argyle-sock, you wear ‘em both up
    You cut the line in the argyle-sock, you wear ‘em both up

  74. Dale says:

    Q: Why do you take your shoes off every time you get to the door?

    A: Because you keep Yorkies in a sock!

  75. Dawn says:

    dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  76. leah b. says:

    Theo oh THeo what size sock would you need to make Bounce a sweater?
    I wanna know cause I cans knitts and I knows it might take me awhile but rikki could use bounce for another lift to look at the neighbors ?????? LOLOL

  77. Theo says:

    I appreciate your enthusiasm, I do… but that just ain’t gonna happen.

  78. Aubrey says:

    This photo is a little creepy, sort of like a crime scene.

    “Alas, poor Yorkie, I knew him well.”

    [...Horatio - Ed.]

  79. Alexis says:

    Awesome post. And Theresa, et al? Your Scottish accents are doing nothing but making me think of Kevin McKidd, the cute yet troubled Vorenus from HBO’s Rome.

    Cute puppies vs. cute Scotsmen. Hmmm…. A troubling dilemma. Both, please!

  80. book_monstercats says:

    It’s the hat. LOVL (laughs out VERY loud)

  81. leah b. says:

    Aubrey you are right it does look like a crime scene, all we need is a little yorkie fur and it would be complete. OH and a chicken hawk feather, lol

  82. NYgirly says:

    *perk*

    Vorenus in nothing butta sock?

    schweeeeeeet ^^

  83. Muffles says:

    Sooooooo chic!

  84. Theresa says:

    I must confess some cognitive dissonance, giving a YORKSHIRE terrier after all, a Scots accent. But there’s really no other way for him to say “ARRRGYLLLLL!!!” ;)

    BTW, isn’t it interesting how Yorkies became sort of an iconic, teeny tiny “useless” yappy dogs, when they’re from YORKSHIRE?? They’ll bash you right up a treat, tyke.

  85. J- You do not need a sweater for your bunny. What you need, my friend, is Bunnderpants.

  86. Catman Dude =^-.-^= says:

    I’m bored looking a sock! NEED NEW PEEECHURES!!

  87. R. Moore says:

    Pure brilliance.

  88. educand says:

    OMG, the person who posted the picture of kitty in a sleeve-sweater – LOL!! The tongue, y’all, the TONGUE.

  89. James says:

    That’s pathetic. People who dress up their dogs need to be shot.

  90. Rhi says:

    Is it just me, or is the person giving the TLC rather nude?

    [I'll take that over *rude* any day... - Ed.]

  91. Theresa says:

    James, I don’t like to seem unwelcoming, as that is not the CO way. But I think you are not going to be comfortable here. ;)

  92. Theresa says:

    How are you about squeals and bebeh-talk? ;)

  93. Theo says:

    Possibly someone needs their own shots updated? I’m thinking distemper…

  94. Annie says:

    I am not a animal dresser upper kinda person but I gotta say that pup looks so… sooo… like a person on COPS you know just caught trying to rob a bank or drive but prosh in his little outfit

  95. Annie says:

    opps I meant drive drunk not just drive

  96. Helene says:

    I think i’m going to make one for my mom’s Yorkie.

  97. Beth says:

    Oh my good god. I think that is the definition of prosh. The pup looks so reticent, ‘can I pull this look off? is the hat too much?’.

  98. one of the erins says:

    This is one for the files for me… I have recently become practically obsessed with Biewers, which is a German breed of Yorkie… but I can’t have one yet, because I live in an apartment.
    But mark my words, one day, a sock will be doomed!

  99. Chastity says:

    Now THAT is great stuff !!!
