    Adorable (if I do say so myself)

    I was asked to make this for my sister-in-law. Her clan are the Kennedy from way back and her daughter knew I make stuffed Scottie Dogs. This was made from a 10 x 54 inch scarf. It is a McCall's pattern (#4893). I had to reduce the pattern a little to fit the available material. Just thought you might like to see and get inspired to make one with your family tartan.

    Ah, that a cute idea.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Were tartan dogs bred to deal with tartan ferrets?

    Very cute.

    I've sewn tartan dog collars, but never a tartan dog ...
    And you're right - that is an adorable dog.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
