german shepherd

By popular demand, I finally designed a german shepherd (also known as an Alsatian, for any Brits reading this): A big thanks to Kris and Kassie for your design feedback! It’s difficult to see his nose (black on black) but you can see it’s there from the profile of the face. I also just realised […]

welsh corgi

look what I got…

This huge parcel came in the mail for me, all the way from Texas! It’s a very generous RAOK (Random Act Of Kindness) from a fellow Crochetviller: I love the colours and I’ve never seen any of these yarns before (we don’t even have Hobby Lobby in Canada) so I’m really pleased – thank you […]
