Yeah! It's pattern release day! I feel weird saying it but I swear every pattern that comes out is my new favorite. I LOVE this guy, he is so funny. Meet Tofu the Gentle Dachshund:
Yes I have Pugs now but I grew up with Dachshunds, so they hold a special place in my heart. And I thought a knitted Dachshund would be a hoot. And it is.
So, he's up for sale in the etsy shop now and I am on my way to put him up on Ravelry now.
And like I said earlier I am doing a giveaway for this pattern so leave a comment below if you would like to win a copy. I will close the comments Saturday night at Midnight (PST) and announce the winner on Sunday. I will pick the winner using a random number generator so it is fair. (Oh, and if you can't wait to get started on it right away, you can always buy it from the shop now and I will give you a one pattern credit if you win to use towards any pattern in my shop or the next pattern coming up. I'm flexible, we'll make it work). I've never done a giveaway before so if I have messed up in some way bear with me!
Happy Dachshund Knitting!
Oooooh! He's adorable. but then i love all your patterns.

Another adorable pattern! I don't know how you churn these out so fast. I'm pretty sure you don't actually sleep. :) I think what I like best about these is it totally doesn't matter what yarn I use. I can just pick up whatever extras I have lying around and start knitting!

Whoa!!! SOOO CUTE! Good work on the Dachshund! Count me in for the contest!
PS: I want to fill a room of your creations and jump in the middle for a gigantic snuggle fest! Kind of like Scrooge McDuck and his money in the opening credits of Ducktails... but much cuter...

Aw, he's so cute! My son is obsessed with the Bunny Nuggets I made him (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/sarahbee) and his favorite dog is a dachshund, so I think I have to make him one of these.

What a cute pattern!!! I have two friends who are having baby boys in October (both after years of trying to concieve! Ironic, huh?). They both love dogs, so this pattern would be perfect!!!!
Thanks for the chance!!!

He's adorable! You amaze me with your ability to keep making such cute patterns! I would love to be entered in the giveaway, but I'm still heading over to Etsy to pick this guy up now! :)

Your patterns keep getting cuter and cuter! I'm going to have to head over to etsy and buy a bunch of patterns now that I have time to knit!

Love! Fingers crossed I win, although I have a couple monster dolls I need to finish up...
PS: I'm serious, you need to set up a facebook page for fans.

I thought I was in love with the pug pattern, but this takes the cake! As I am "owned" by a mini dachshund, I can't wait to start on this pattern (and I have just bought it and then came over to your blog) - great giveaway!

Have loved every pattern that I have made so far. It's amazing that you seem to be able to create the patterns faster than I can knit them! Just keep it up. shopping for yarn has become a family adventure!

So adorable, as always. I'm working on one of your Penelope monsters right now. I'll need a new pattern to keep me occupied once I'm done!
