Another Knit Puppy

On a roll - first my blue dog and now this little guy.  I decided to branch out and try to make something of my own, instead of using a pattern from someone else.  After having knit so many small toys, it wasn't too hard to figure out how to get the shape and proportions right for a small dog.  Knitting up the attachments and putting the final piece together was similarly easy.  So I present my first original mochimochi - a tiny green dog!

Mini Blue Puppy

A quick project I whipped up while jet-lagged and half-asleep:  a blue puppy!  This is for a distant friend that special-requested a dachshund, and while I admit that dachshunds are not really blue, I still think it's pretty cute.  Plus, I'll be making more in additional colors, including the "traditional" dachshund colors.

This pattern comes courtesy of the Mochimochi Land Store.  More great stuff over there to buy and knit!

I have an excuse for not updating lately - I just came back from a wonderful vacation to a land far, far away. Now that it's over, summer has begun and I have more time on my hands to knit and update this blog.
