AJ's Dog Bone Mat Pattern

[crochetdiva]

My pattern is now available here (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5698192) for sale. It is also in the Crochet A Day 2007 Calendar that is available in bookstores and Ebay, as well as Amazon.com.

But if you don't have the calendar and would like to purchase it directly from me that would be fine, as I still retain the copyright to the pattern, and therefore am free to sell it. :manyheart

Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much!! Hmmmmmm, now I need to go to the storage unit and find the tote the chunky yarn is in!! LOL

If you don't have chunky, note the one that Debi made with four strands of worsted weight yarn.

[waterbaby]

From one AJ to another, thanks so much for posting the pattern....

[bheath]

I made a couple of these over the weekend using 3 strands of a mustardy colored WW that were an ebay boo-boo. They are SO cute. I know what's going to be the teacher present for Christmas this year! I also got inspired and made up a cat version. Just a square using 2 strands and doing pink triangle ears in the top 2 corners. Got both ends of the spectrum covered that way.

[Jewels]

As you can see, my doggy is pretty happy with his new little bonerug. I made another one too for his doggyfriend. Pattern was very easy to make, and thanks AJ for sharing this cute pattern. Who doesn't like to make something for their dog, right?

That is SO cute! I will have to make one to go home with each of the puppies (if anyone ever comes to get them!); my dog, and my brother's dog, who is like 'A hairy little son' to him. :lol I never know what to get him, I really think he'll like this! Thank you for sharing the pattern with us, AJ!

[Hummywinger]

The doggy mat is just adorable.. Any chance of getting the pattern.:think We have 3 small toy bred dogs and they are currently using the backside of a old Chritmas plastic type placemat for a food mat... not actrive at all. I was going to crochet them an oval mat but Love this little Doggy Mat... just to to cute.

[RachelG]

Hi Brenda, I hope you can get to this message! (It's Rachel from Crochet Pattern Central). I hope crochetdiva sees your message. You replied to her original post just fine...however she did say "pm" her if you wanted it. PM means private message. I'd be happy to do it for you if you'd like, or give you instructions. But, for all I know, you can do that just fine!

[crochetdiva]

Brenda, I PM'd you!:manyheart

[ncmurray512]

Andrea, I pm'd you!!

[susieharley]

I would love a copy of your pattern for the dog mat please.

[lildumpling]

I would love your pattern too. Thanks.

[crochetdiva]

My pattern is still available. Just send me an email or PM me with your email address.

:manyheart :dog

[pony_girl526]

i would like to have this pattern when you get a chance. with mothers day coming and birthdays around the corner i am getting together things that i would like to make for these people. thank you! :hook

[Roli]

Andrea, I finished one mat but it turned out too big so I'm frogging and starting over. Your pattern is super! It's easy to follow and putting those circles in the corners is truly inspired! I was making it with 3 strands of homespun held together and my Jimbo Q hook and although I wanted it to be larger than yours, it turned out a little too large! (My own fault, not yours):) I'll post a photo when I finish it. Three strands of homespun are a bear to frog!:(

[bigmama8]

Your dog bone mat is just adorable! My min pin "Pebbles" would love it!

[angelfire]

I made this as soon as I received the pattern. My mom's dog Katie..loves it. She sniffed around it for over an hour today before seh decided that she rather have it closer to her bed and it in front of it before I left.:c9

[wren]

Thanks so much for sending the pattern (and so quickly). It's really great of you to share it like this.

[crochetdiva]

Thanks everyone for the great compliments!! I love hearing about your dogs and their mats...and especially like seeing pics!!!

[bigmama8]

Thanks so much for sending the pattern. I can't wait to make it for Pebbles. I haven't figured out how to post pics yet.

[angelmira]

OMG that pattern is so cute!

[1to1]

I'm going to try using 4 strands of Sugar & Cream--figured it'd hold up good. I have the yarn bought but first I have to finish a baby afghan.

I can't wait to get it started though.:dreaming Thanks so much for emailing the pattern. :flower

[1to1]

Andrea,

I just couldn't wait to start your dog bone. I :manyheart love :manyheart it!! It was so fun and easy to make. :yay :cheer :yay

I used 4 strands of Sugar and Cream (2 Seashore & 2 Citruis Fruit Prints) and a size N hook.

Thanks so much for sharing your original design pattern.:hug

Here are some pictures.

Carla, the colors you used with Andrea's bone pattern are really nice. You did a great job!

[linderkay]

Congratulations!:cheer :cheer :cheer

I had so much fun making the other one that last night I made another for a young friend who just got a Yorkiepoo. I think this one is just toooo cute. I used 4 strands of Sugar & Cream--2 Playtime & 2 Potpourri and then 2 Playtime and 2 Hot Pink around the edge.

[crochetdiva]

Great job! I love the colors!!

[Newfie_Chick]

I love these mats, everyone did such great work, and the colors are beautiful! I was wondering if I could get a copy of the pattern? I sent a pm, but I don't know if I did it right...I've only been a member a few days and I'm still trying to navigate around. My email is heals31@hotmail.com
TIA!

[ReenCrochets]

I would like a copy of the pattern too, if it's still available. I'd love to make one for my little doxie, Willie.

My email is WilcoxsonR@aol.com

Thanks, Reen

[cl2134]

Andrea,
I just PM'd you requesting your pattern.

It's such a wonderful idea and I love the colors that the members are using to crochet your dog bone mat pattern!!

Thanks!
Chris:clap

[hookster]

Thanks so much for the pattern. I'm going on my lunch break to pick up some yarn. I'm starting as soon as I get home. I'll post when finished. Thanks again!:day

[cl2134]

Andrea,
Thanks so much! :clap

[ReenCrochets]

I'm not that good with choosing yarn. I read on this thread some have used Peaches & Cream yarn. I couldn't find that. I found Sugar & Cream, but it seams really thin. Anyone else use a specific yarn (brand name) that turned out well. I really want to make one of these.

Thanks for any help.
Reen

[Jamie23]

I PM'ed you too! I am a total pup pattern lover, so I would love to try this cute pattern! Can I get a copy?-Jamie:manyheart

[crystalsprings]

I PM'ed You too! If they are still available, I would like a copy of the pattern too! :manyheart
Thanks in advance!

[1to1]

Reen,

Walmart carries Peaches N Cream. Peaches N Cream is the same as Sugar and Cream. When you make the mat you hold 4 strands together and trust me that is thick enough.

AJ's Dog Bone Mat is very fun and easy to make. I made the middle part of the bone a little longer on the first pictures posted and followed the pattern on the second set.

Have fun!
Carla

[SHIRLEYB463]

Could I please get a copy I would love it for my 2 dogs. Thanks
Shirley

[Barbara in FL]

:cheer Andrea, I am just now seeing your post. I don't know how I missed it. If the offer is still good, I sure would appreciate a copy of the pattern. I sent you a PM. Thank you in advance for being so kind.:clap :clap :clap

[margilynn]

Ok...i'm joining the puppy mat craze! It is just too cute to pass up!! How could a pup not love their very own mat?? I PM'd you Miss Andrea!

TIA, Margaret

p.s.-are there other pet patterns on this site? I'm new!!

[seabreeze]

Hi, Just wondering if this pattern has been in a magazine yet. Does anyone know? I get 4 or 5 crochet magazines and didn't want to miss it.

[scc51055]

oh boy this was easy! I used 3 strand of worsted weight and a p hook, it looks wonderful! i will try to post a picture when my son gets home tomorrow! i enjoyed making it and was even thinking of a way to make a mouse so the cats would have one too! thanks for the pattern....it was fun and all i showed it to loved it!

[ReenCrochets]

Here's my dog bone mat. Remember, I'm a newbie at crochet :)
I'm going to make another one. This one was fun. I love to make things for my little doxie. Thanks for the pattern!

Is The're Any Way I Could Get A Copy Of The Pattern? How Do I Go About It?

Jaye

[raelynn]

[rude-girl72]

Is there somebody who wants to send me this patern? I love it. for my son his room He loves dogs ( I want to make him from fleece fabric so it will be bigger as a floor piece) please?!;) :nworthy :dog

[crochetdiva]

HI everyone! The response for this pattern has been overwhelming! I am currently setting up a site to sell the pattern privately until it is published later this fall. I will let everyone know the site as soon as it is up and running. Thanks to everyone again for all their interest.

Andrea

[dewbaby00]

I got this pattern awhile ago but haven't had the yarn to make it....good excuse to go out and buy yarn..

[CroJulee]

Hi, I just had a few questions. I was wondering when the Pattern will be for sale, and how much? The reason for the questions is this: My mom and I work at a local pound, and the county doesn't give much money to the pound to work with. I've been trying to think of a way that I could help, and the idea I came up with is to sell doggy related stuff, and donate the money to the pound. Which is why I asked the questions. I'm hoping to start raising the money for the pound before to long, and was going to ask you also if I would be able to get that pattern from you, and possibly use it for selling for what I guess would be considered a charity (I think so atleast). If you have an idea of the price, I would be interested in buying it.

Thank you for your time!!

God Bless!!!

Julee

[crochetdiva]

Hi Julee, I just pm'd you.:manyheart

[Mudmama]

Crochet diva, I just pm'd you. Thanks, Sherry

[Brandybuck]

That mat is great, Andrea! Can't wait until I can buy that pattern...my best friend and her mom each have two dogs(wonderful, slobbery pits), and this mat would be perfect. Especially since one of the pits does NOT like to share her eating space... ;)

[Bettyboop321]

Could I have the address as to where to buy this pattern? Betty

[scc51055]

I made one last night as a birthday gift for my sister. I just love it! it works up really well and the results are beautiful! i think this is my favorite pattern!

[seabreeze]

I would like to get this pattern if it is still available. Thanks!!!:)

[GarnetMoon]

If the pattern is still being given out to cro-villers, would someone please either post it or PM me? I would love to add this to my Xmas CAL list!

[lizzard]

I too would love to see the pattern, also for xmas. It is really cute!

[sunrisedq]

I would love to have this pattern myself, great Christmas gifts!!:santa I would not mind paying for it, you deserve it, a lot of work goes into creating a pattern. Please let me know when it will be available!!:hook

[deecochran]

If this pattern is still available, please give me the address so I can purchase. I run a small rescue facility from my home and the babies would love these! Thanks!

[cmboobird]

I would love to have a copy. Please let us know soon where we might get it. I think it would be great for my local dog rescue.

[Needle Arts]

I too am very interested in this pattern. I still do work for an animal emergency clinic and think these would make great gifts for the pets that are in the hospital over Christmas -- but I would need to start soon! I would be happy to direct others to this pattern when published.

[natcat]

Could someone please pm me, or post a reply to tell me where I can buy the dog bone pattern at, Please???!!!!
Thank You:clap :hook

[GarnetMoon]

Seems that many people are requesting this pattern, even to PURCHASE and yet not a single response as to how or where we may obtain it. I even emailed the designer...still nothing.

[shebear]

I found out why......it's in the new 2007 Pattern-A-Day Crochet calendar.

August 21, 2007 is a great day for dogs. Now I need to finish my testing of the dog sweater. (I only have to finish the strap.) And then I can whip one of the mats out for the same dog.

Whoopee!

Oh almost forgot....I got the calendar at Barnes & Noble.

What's the calendar? Is it something we buy at the store or order here or what? Several really good patterns are in it and I'd love to get one.

[tracyleigh]

Hope I'm not too late to get this pattern. :lashes

I would love to make some of these up for the new OPSCA shelter that just opened near me.

[tracyleigh]

Hm, no answer yet?

[DesertCrocheter]

The Crochet Pattern-A-Day calendar is a page-a-day calendar that features patterns by many designers, including many of our very own vilagers! I didn't realize 2007 was available yet, but you can check your local bookstore (that's where I got mine last year) as well as online retailers. At $14 last year (the 2006 version is sitting right here next to my pc), it was a steal, considering how many patterns are in there (not quite 365, but almost!).

[ginamaria73]

I checked three Barnes & Noble stores & they were all sold out. I actually found mine at Joann's..which turned out to be a good deal cuz I used my 40% off coupon!

[cmboobird]

Thank you for the information. I'll look at Jo-Ann's today. I have to pick up some yarn-of course!!!!:lol

[ginamaria73]

Story of my life!! lol

Good luck-hope you find one. :)
