Hello dear knitters and dog lovers! I have had the honor of creating a collection for the Femund race in connection to the World Championships in dog sledding 2025! This collection includes sweaters and small knitwear items. I hope you enjoy the collection and that the garments will keep you warm on many adventures in the years to come. In the patterns, you can choose what kind of dog you want on your sweater, as this is not just a sweater for people with competition dogs, but for everyone who likes to take their dog on adventures. Enjoy your knitting! Best regards, Linka Neumann @linka.neumann
