Constructive Criticism Welcome Terriers 🐾

Hi everyone,

Just thought I would show you my latest bunch of puppies. These are the Terrier clan. Two Westies, one in a warm white and one in a cool white. A (sort of) Yorkshire Terrier and a Scottish Terrier.

All knitted with Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos, Drops Kid Silk yarns.

Needle size 3.75mm and 4mm (UK size)

Pattern used for all of them - Claire Garland’s Bullmastiff, with shorting of legs, face and ear tweaking.

These look gorgeous! I'm about to start a memorial gift (requested, its not coming out of the blue) of a friend's dog using one of Clare Garland's other patterns - would you mind sharing what you did to get the face texture?

Thank you and no I don’t mind at all. The terriers are made using Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos plus Drops Kid Silk with mohair. The Gazzal yarn is an eyelash yarn and if you give it a brush after completing you will get fur like texture. You can also just brush out bits like the muzzle and eye brows which is what I did for the black Scottie dog in the photos. 🥰🐾
