I cannot knit or crochet and my sewing skills are good but I,m as blind as a bat and find it difficult to thread a needle, so if you make some Amanda I am putting in your first order for a life size brindle one, good to have you back. heart.gif Nora

If they were for sale in the shop, I would definitely go home with one. Or two. Or three... Stop me! Please! Uncontrollable urges to purchase greyhound related products!

I've just ordered the crochet greyhound booklet from the site mentioned in Amanda's post. I'll give it a go and see how I get on. Have also bought a book on crochet !!!!

well, my pattern arrived today - looks like it's written in chinese so I might well be pm-ing Amanda for serious help!!!!!!

I'll give it a good go tho cos I really want to conquer this challenge and have my own woolly lad (I have no idea what the living dogs will think of it !)

Good luck - my gran told me that I'd be fine if ever anyone wanted knitted lace when I last tried knitting! I would imagine crochet would be much the same - in fact it might look like chinese when I finished. hmm.gif

Think I'll stick to my cross-stitching. wink.gif

Tree, try starting on the tail first. Easiest part of pattern and it will build your confidence up a bit!

Blue was less than impressed after I had made the first back leg and I had had half a bottle of wine, putting the leg next to his and singing 'he's Blue the peg diddle diddle diddle dum with his extra leg' was just far too embarrassing for himblankstareashamed no wonder he tried to kill it when completed. 

 

Woolly now resides on the landing as Blue doesn't go upstairs (open plan wooden stairs not to Blue's liking)
