In This Yarn With a Tail, Our Heroes Thirst for Hair of the Dog http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704816604576333190698158106.html?mod=googlenews_wsj http://tinyurl.com/dog-knitting BOULDER, Colo.?Angella Dirks dreams of a day when a knit scarf will be judged by the color of its yarn and not by the content of its fibers. Which is to say, she can't wait for the nation to embrace dog hair. She and a band of like-minded enthusiasts are doing everything they can to turn garments knitted of canine sheddings from a pet-owner's fetish into a fashion trend.
