Finished my worry-eating dog.

I knit for a local charity and these would have been really useful for them. I'll try other sites.

He's lovely - just looking at him made me smile ?

PS, you might find similar patterns on any knitting website, e.g. Lovecrafts or Ravelry.

It’s a recent thing, but I’m afraid you can’t any more, unless you’re already a knitter for them. Presumably that’s because people have been using the patterns (designed by volunteers for the purpose) for commercial purposes.

The person who runs the scheme now has a waiting list for would-be knitters. You can put yourself on that if you like - the website tells you how.

She must have had a lot more donations than usual - the waiting list for therapists etc. wanting items has apparently gone down to 500, from over 1000 not so long ago.

How do you get to the patterns? Its asking for a guest password.

Oh, he is lovely. Off to check the website.

Beautiful dog and a wonderful idea. Thank you for posting.

He's lovely and what a brilliant idea.

Not really, Purplepixie, I can’t/won’t do intricate or very fiddly patterns. They’re all too liable to result in a lot of cursing, undoing, and very likely ending up as UFOs (unfinished objects).

Witzend. I love him and well done to you! Was it very complicated to do?

That’s a recent thing, Doodledog, to stop people using the free patterns for commercial purposes, as presumably has happened.

I will find the email about it and PM you later.

You seem to need a password to view the patterns, unless I have missed a link somewhere.

He’s fabulous! I love the idea of a worry eating dog. When she was little my daughter had a hairband made of worry dolls that someone brought her from abroad (Guatemala?) and she loved them. You were supposed to tell them your worries, but a dog that actually eats them is better still.

Great work. He's a real cool dude.

Here's the link for knit for nowt

Nannagarra, it’s on the Knit-For-Nowt website, along with a lot of others.

He's just gorgeous, Witzend. I wish I had your skill

How beautiful

I’ve seen worry eaters before but none as handsome as this chap. Could you provide a link for the pattern, please?

Yes, Doodle, you can’t see it but there’s a deep mouth pocket.

I'd not heard of worry-eating creatures. What a brilliant idea and a fantastic job you've made of him.

Witzend he’s lovely. Does the child post worries in his mouth?

Very well done, I love him.

Witzend he is lovely and a handsome chap. Well done you.

Aw, cute!
