A couple of months ago, I had a Greyhound pattern commission request from a lady who works with The Greyhound Supporters Of The National Capital Region (GSNCR)<\/a>, a not-for-profit charity that works towards facilitating adoptions for retired racing greyhounds in the Ottawa, Ontario region.<\/p>\n

This was probably my most challenging AmiDogs design to date – how to make a greyhound that won’t fall down? They’re just so skinny! My solution was to make him a bit larger than my usual breeds (he’s about 8″ long), because there’s no way he could support his own weight on long spindly legs, plus can you imagine stuffing a long tiny 5-sc-around tube?! Even with my Detail Stuffing Tool<\/a> (which I really recommend for all legs and small pieces), it’d just be too fiddly. So here’s what I came up with…<\/p>\n

\"AmiDogs<\/p>\n

Obviously stylized, like all my AmiDogs breeds, but I hope it clearly says ‘Greyhound’ (although it could equally well be a Whippet, if you’re so inclined…) I kept it all one colour so I could concentrate on getting the shaping right without making the pattern too difficult to follow. <\/p>\n

AmiDogs Greyhound<\/a> takes my AmiDogs collection up to an astounding 17 different breeds – and I’m in no danger of running out of breed ideas any time soon, either… You can buy the pattern from my shop<\/a>, or, as always, take advantage of the savings when you make up a custom set of any 3 AmiDogs breeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think of my greyhound?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
