I always had huskies growing up. This one looks just like the one my parents have right now (Topaz). A whole family would look great in the grey and in black with blue eyes. Wow. Great job!

Yet another great pattern. Any chance you'll be creating a St. Bernard? Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what else will be in Set 3. I love him! Yet another great pattern.

Husky's are of a smaller build and usually are in the lighter grey patterns like your model but both breeds come in a variety of colors. Malamute's are a more dense breed, they are much larger both in size and build, they are commonly seen in a black tipped topcoat with a white/cream undercoat. Both breeds are double coated breeds, meaning that they have alot of fur, making them out of a medium fuzzy yarn on the body and tail would make them more realistic looking. I think that your patterns look really great! I have just ordered a bunch and can not wait to try them out. Some ideas for dog breeds that I think would be neat, would include: Weimeriner, Visela, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Bulldog, Yorkshire Terrier, Pomeranian, Greyhound/Whippet, Poodle, St. Bernard, Pembroke and Cardigan Welsh Corgi and Mastiff. A lot of breeds could use the same shape pattern with different color patterns or different types of yarn. If you watched the Westminster Dog show you will have seen that a lot of the differences in breeds are very small, some only being different color or type of coat. I wish you hope in figuring out how to make the new breeds. AKC.org has pictures of all of the breeds that they recognize which might help you recreate them. I will be waiting to see what you come up with next, so I can try it! You should publish a book when you have more breeds figured out.

I can't wait to get started on the penguin, etc. that I bought from you a few days ago! I am going to Jeddah (a BIG city on the Red Sea!) this coming weekend, and there is a mall there that actually has a tiny yarn shop! Gasp! Of course, it is run by MEN :) I am hoping to find some of the eyelash yarn there. But, if not, then I will just crochet those little cuties with regular yarn! Once I get through THOSE patterns, maybe I will feel proficient enough to tame those DOGS! Don't forget the Great Dane!!! But ala natural (NO cropped ears!)! I was even dreaming last night of a couple of other critters that I would like to try designing myself! Talk about ambition! LOL :) Thanks for a GREAT web site! I am telling ALL my friends about you!
