journalpoll: dog patterns?
It seems that my amigurumi Shiba Inu is popular! I only made Ginger Jr as a one-of-a-kind gift, but all your comments are making me think about making a slightly simplified shiba and producing a pattern for it… It wouldn’t be immediate - I have several other projects I have to complete first (especially the long-awaited monkey pattern which should be complete in the next week).
So, my question to you is, would you be interested in buying an amigurumi dog pattern from me? If you’re interested, please vote, and I will do it if there is enough interest. If you’d like to see other breeds done in the same kind of style, please vote and also leave a comment saying which breeds are your favourite!
UPDATE: Thanks to all who voted… the first set of AmiDogs patterns are now available in my store!

I’m going to try and make one similar to yours resembling my little rat terrier — yours would be a great jumping off point if you were to publish it.

I don’t know how to vote, cuz I have the original! LOL I may have to take up crochet if you start making dog patterns, though!
I’d love to see a Boston Terrier or Siberian Husky pattern. (My MIL and my Mom’s dog, hehehehe!)

Definately a Boston Terrier! An australian shepherd would be awesome too

I think a fuzzy breed would be cute. I love the furry patterns. Maybe an american eskimo.

A chihuahua and a mini-pinscher! Also a poodle - my mom has 2 obnoxious toy poodles and she’d just love it.

I would like pattern for all sorts of breeds of dogs like the schnauzer, great dane, german shepard, beagle, pug, cocker spanial, lab, golden retriever, weiner dog, blood hound, chow chow, poodle, border collie, baset hound just to name a few. I would love to have them be free patterns and maybe you could sell already made ones or if you are going to sell them you should sell all the breeds together or in groups that the people can pick. Maybe you could make a book of all the breeds patterns and sell that. I would really appreciate it if they were free though because I am not allowed to buy things online.

Any and all dog breeds would be popular I think. I wouldn’t expect you to give them away, having attempted to write a patter or two myself I know the work that goes into them. That being said have you started yet?

Thanks everyone for your comments! Yes, I have decided that I will be making doggy patterns! But please keep leaving comments with suggestions for dog breeds
