Who wouldn't want their own knitted Pembroke Welsh Corgi? Other than people without children and those against pet-related kitsch, I fail to see how this couldn't be universally popular. And look! I found a pattern for one! This pattern is available for *free* here so if you want to knit your own little Corgi all you need is a little bit of yarn and stuffing.I don't remember exactly how I stumbled across this pattern, but what is possibly even more fantastic is the collection to which this Corgi belongs. This little knitted Corgi is meant to represent one of the more than 30 Corgis that Queen Elizabeth has owned... and they are part of quite an event.
As I'm sure you've all heard, Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting married TODAY (and probably already are married... time zone differences and whatnot). Memorabilia abounds (check out this video) and knitters should not be and, thankfully, are not left out.
Fiona Goble has written and published Knit Your Own Royal Wedding, which is available for sale (though I don't know if it ships to the US) from The Guardian Bookshop.If you're interested in more information (and pictures and videos!!) about Prince William and Kate's wedding, here's the website.
If you do end up knitting your own wedding party, please take some pictures and send them to me at knittinsmitten@gmail.com. I'd love to see them and I'll post them here on my website!
Congrats to Prince William and Kate!
The corgi is adorable! 30 seems a bit much. I thought 3 pugs were a lot. But, I suppose she has help picking up the yard.
