Hi, I really did not know what to leave either so just picked a number that sounded reasonable that did not make my husband choke too much :) I also included wording that our two kids (adults) can make the choice between rescue or homes with them or someone they know. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs and realize that depending on when my husband and I pass that our kids may not be able to committ to having our animals too. I tried to use a sum that our estate could support that would be enough for average old age costs. Just guessing though. Good luck in your desicion making!    Bev

Oh, no, I forgot all about this! So sorry. I did go on a really big search around Xmas time for the yarn from this, because some one "cleaned up" my stuff, but claimed to have never seen any of it.

This is the pattern that inspired the Corgi scarf.

I modified it as I went along. Of course there was no tail, except for a little tiny nub added to the end. I made the feet from rectangles, folded them into little hollow paw-shaped tubes, and used duplicate stitch for the paw prints. A hair clip from the craft store made the jaw clip to bite onto the body of the corgi. I made it long enough to wrap twice to be short enough to wear with my shelter T-shirt, or once for a "stole."

Yarns: Vanilla Lion Brand Cotton-Ease. Another similar cotton yarn, light peach color, same color as my corgis fur. The 2nd and 3rd yarn are missing their labels, but one is an eyelash yarn, an orangish bronze color, the other an eyelash that is silvery white. These were used on the same #15 needle with the peach body color. I also used a white eyelash with the Vanilla cotton for the bunny butt. The feet were Vanilla cotton alone.

I do have some pictures. If you send me your email address, I can send you those. I struggled (in a good way) over how to do the feet and the bunny butt, as well as shaping the head. I'm not thrilled with my corgi's ears, but I'm happy with the rest. I've worn it at the shelter and received many compliments, though no one knew what it was :)

In fact, if someone could explain to me how to post pictures in a post, I could post the silly thing.

thansk for your input on the song.  i've tweaked it a bit more.

Hi - I AM the corgi mom with the corgi scarf. I just now saw your message to me about it. I do have the original fox pattern on my computer and a few pix, and I should have the yarn labels lying around. I can pull all that together for you, but I can't tell you exactly how I did it. There was a lot of doing and un-doing, thinking and experimenting. That's what made it fun, especially since it's something I can't really wear anywhere. I'll work on collecting all that info and send it on.

Thanks for letting me know. I hopped on the event page earlier today before I saw your comment because I figured the weather was going to mess with our plans. *le sigh* Oh well, hopefully next year. 

Thanks for letting me know! I was just thinking about it, but given the weather and that I am bogged down with grad work I didn't know if I would make it! I appreciate you thinking about me!!

Well, darn :(  Thanks for letting me know.  Maybe next year!
