Well we have been for our walk and shake about-- Will tell you about that tomorrow as this is more important!!!

I have decided you can tell your personality through Craft Work!!!!!! As I said earlier I have a couple of diversions to the lapacuddlyghans and thought I had better test the water so that I dont end up in a panic -- only true of puppies/dogs for wedding not name banner!!! But want to get that done ASAP before Jemima gets too old!!

So started the first squares for name flag -- absolutely suits my personality -- 20 stitches. 20 ridges cast off. Quick and easy-- As Gordon Ramsay says done!!!!!

Well then I thought I should try the first puppy. Well !!!! That is another story altogether. I think I am like a mad horse, race to fence refuse
(That relates to attempt to do dogs head in single crochet with a magic loop start!) ---

Too tricky try a different fence altogether
( That relates to ripping it out and trying head with a chain loop and half trebles)

Then retiring from race in disgust!!

So I have a puppy with a head ,body and 1 leg and don't think I could possibly think of doing 12--- let me see 48 legs!!!
So its look for another easier pattern !!

Ok, i want to also knit some squares for blankets . I have lookd at the link in the first post and just keep getting more clickies. Very overwhelmed. I can knit and purl and that's about it.

I wanted to knit for bonnie babies . Can anyone help with simple instructions? Colours of squares, what pattern or stitch etc? Thanks. Overwhelmed completely at all the links

I am not sure what size Bonnie Babies wants for squares
If they are 8" just cast on 40 stitches and knit either in garter stitch ( all knit) or stocking stitch ( 1 row knit and 1 row purl) for as long as it takes to measure 8 inches in length, Usually 40 ridges in garter stitch.Then cast off
Good Luck and hope this helps Zippychick

Hi Chalky - I like your theory! I think I am like the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland who hops around muttering 'I'm late, I'm late!' It's because I am always up against the clock - I really don't know where the time goes. Well, I do, I just can't do anything about it at the moment. Take this afternoon, we came back home and I thought I'd have a couple of hours with my wool. DH has needed help moving the TVs around (we have one in our 'new' sitting room and one in the old one; they've needed connecting up to the satellite) then I checked my emails and the company I write freelance for needed two articles by first thing tomorrow morning! So I've just finished them and sent them off and the next thing I know it'll be time for dinner!

Anyway, here is a lovely pattern for a puppy - it may be more successful for you than the one you've been trying! http://freeamigurumi.blogspot.com/2008/10/amigurumi-dog.html

Thanks for that Kathy -- posts crossed !!

You must write and type quickly-- Think of the lovely pennies to spend in the wool shop!
