Mad Spaniel and Grand Facebook Page Opening!

Yay! I finally got some free time and finished setting up my Facebook page. Now I can spam my poor, poor friends more effectively!

Anyway, back to my designs: this pattern was created in October 2012.
It is not a very good one I'm afriad but still I have a fondness for it. The pattern was inspired by my crazy cocker spaniel. His name is Korek (which can be translated as "Bung") and he is the most adorable and yet vicious creature in this part of the Galaxy.
I present to you... my dog:


And his mini-version:


I'm not sure why, but he loves eating my Amigurumi work. He chewed up quite a few toys including this one. That's almost a cannibalism!
