Community Spotlight: Helpful Animals

Welcome to Community Spotlight, where we’ll be showing you highlights from our Community Gallery. To be featured in the gallery, simply post a picture of your Lion Brand creations to Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #lionbrandyarn. We’ll be choosing some of our favorites to post to the blog.

We’ve noticed something in the Community Gallery: you all have some really cute pets. Dogs, cats, bunnies, gerbils, all sorts of critters stop by to snuggle in your yarn or model your finished items. They are very helpful, too, keeping things warm and generally being adorable.

This Community Spotlight is celebrating the furry friends that keep our crafts company.

Coal has decided poms are his new thing. I think he might be onto something. Let’s all bathe in pom poms together! . . . .

Just a few of my favorite things, tea, my dog Hoban and crocheting. Hoban loves to be wherever his humans are. So much so that he decided he needed to be included in this picture. I have been crocheting a lot of blue toques lately. Is there any colour of toque that you would like to see me introduce?

It’s snowing, which means I just want to curl up with a couple of my favorite things ➰ Somehow, a warm, snuggly puppy makes everything better ☺️

I’m hoping I feel better by the time the kids get home from school. I hate not being able to tell them what to do all evening. For now me and my lil body guard will be resting and maybe get a couple hexis added to this never ending afghan. Shoutout to my baby girl Delilah, she cooked dinner last night and it was delicious!! ✨#someonegavemeojo

Even pets that belong to members of the Lion Brand Family are getting in on the action…
