First there were Pocket Lambie Peeps, and now we have Pocket Pup Peeps! :o)
this is Frankie Pocket Pup Peep
I made little Frankie for our niece after watching her adorable wee poodle mix romping about, recently. He's sooo cute! Had to make an ami of him! And having been making Pocket Lambie Peeps lately, I realized that the lambie yarn would be perfect for him. With just a bit of changing, the lambie could become a Pup!! Tried out one of those cute little glass animal noses (from www.glasseyesonline.com ), and it's just perfect for a dog, with their shiny wet noses! :o) My Hub and I are just LOVING him! AND he looks even so much cuter in person! So another one that will be very hard to part with. *sigh*
and this is Daisy Pocket Pup Peep
We were so crazy about little Frankie peep that I had to make Daisy Peep for us, or our niece was never going to get Frankie! ;o) I was soooo sad at the thought of sending him away, till Daisy came to stay. Daisy is in homage to the memory of my sweet little Bichon Frise.
More about Frankie ... he has this adorable bit of apricot on his back! Isn't that CUTE?!
Here's Frankie in his little bed/pocket, which is now Daisy's because I made a slightly bigger one for Frankie...
And more of wee Daisy
here's Wee Daisy with Wee Frankie (they're in loooove... *sings... Frankiee and Daisy were looveeerrrsss....* hee hee)
See him whispering sweet nothings to her before kissing her? ;o)
Frankie is a poodle mix - and you know what those Frenchmen are like! ;o) heh heh Yes, I know that Poodles didn't originate in France, but... we're pretending. ;o)
Unfortunately, theirs will have to be a long distance relationship, because Frankie is moving to Northern California to be with his new mommy, and Daisy is staying here with US! (YAY!)
And one more of Daisy, giggling because she's in Frankie's new bed/pocket
I just couldn't stop taking pics of these two pups!! heh heh I've got dozens of them!! Yeesh! Am I obsessed?

I'm knitting away, making lots of peeps, but I never get time to post them. So someday there will be a giant post from me with a hundred peeps in it! (just kidding! I'm lucky to get a peep posted now and then).

The bichon is so cute! Do you have the pattern for this? Also what kind of yarn did you use?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Susana! :o) So glad you like her!No, I'm sorry I don't have a pattern for them, but they are made up of simple shapes. I made them in one piece, using short rows to make the muzzle stick out, but you could easily make a tapered tube for the body and an oval for the head, and then sew them together. I used needle shaping (using yarn or thread and a large needle) to pull and push the muzzles into the shapes I wanted. Both pups were knit in the same way (except for the ears, of course) as the Pocket Lambies and the Christmas Reindeer and Moose (or 'Meeses' as I like to say), just the needle shaping made the muzzles look as they do.I used Bernat Soft Boucle for these, and the Pocket Lambies, with size US 4 or 5 needles. The Pocket Lambies have the knitting right side out (knit side out), and the Pocket Pups are turned inside out (purl side out) for more curls.
