They are not hard the key thing in my opinion is the pinning.. Making sure you pin it well and pin the front and back where your legs seperate evenly.
do you still need picts

No doubt. I've never pinned either. Can't even imagine where one would pin, to be honest.

What I want to know is where are people getting all this beautiful yarn from?

you know what I do when something isn't lining up right? I take scissors to it and MAKE it line up right.



I'd love to see a picture...I can't imagine where you'd stick 15 pins. LOL!

dd is doing her horse now....the pinning visual has helped thanks.

feltcraft says the mane goes on after the body is stuffed. does it get secured with a short stitch or do we sew it on before its stuffed.

okay, dd started the blanket stitch and after 10mins says "its too hard mama. call me when you are finished k?"

okay I'm just posting here so I can watch and see how this goes. I've been wondering about this and thought it looked hard as heck until I saw the pinned horse picture.

I get my yarn from everywhere I can I "advertize" forit in swaps, I buy fishermans yarn from Joanns adn dye it, I get chunks of tangled dyeable from Dannielle and dye it ( ), I get leftovers from Lissa who spins and knits, I hit the "motherlode" at a thrift store last month and found 8 4 ounce skeins of 100% wool natural colored yarn and that is what I dyed today, wanna see?

sense a trend here?

lol. and that bulky stuff, I bought in um, Calistoga California during a Goddess Festival 7 years ago in a yarn shop cause I was gonna learn to knit, ROFL... but, hey, at least I amusing it for horses now
