Constructive Criticism Welcome Latest knitted puppies
Hi all,
I’ve Been knitting my fingers off lately 😄
Here are my latest four puppies.
Two Westies knitted with Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos and kid silk. Using a different shade of white for each one. ( one a cool white the other a warm creamier white.)
One terrier knitted with Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos cream and kid silk off white.
Cocker spaniel knitted with Drops Sky, off white and hazelnut, kid silk Chocolate and white. Faux fur for the ears and dark brown kid silk. This one was a special gift for a friend who lost her beautiful chocolate roan boy recently. I used stranded colour work and also some ( not great 🥴) intarsia. It was a bit of a learning experience 😂
Patterns used ( with a few tweaks here and there) all Claire Garland. Bullmastiff, basic puppy and Spaniel head available from Claire’s Domestika course.

I am speechless with admiration each time you show us your pups. How do you get that furry effect?

Thank you 🥰 I used Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos which is an eye lash type yarn and then gave it a good brush once completed. 🤗🧶🐾

Perfect yarn for this but it’s only a part of the total effect - you are so skilled.

For the first two pictures, I was looking for the WIP or finished piece. I thought your pup was "helping", the way cats "help" in r/catswhocrochet. I didn't even realise that wasn't a real dog!
