    I think the main factor is the wool i.e. alpaca (don't know whether that is the correct spelling). There are a couple of units down in the town that have specialist wool and believe me it is not cheap. One of them had a knitted waterfall coat/cardigan in the window just before C******** and muggins thought it was rather nice but I nearly fainted when I saw the price.

    Yes, it is the alpaca wool that pushes up the price to astronomical levels, especially as it is in chunky. Of course one could make it in a cheaper alpaca mix, which is what Poppy was made from, but it is getting the patterns that is the problem. They have to be bought as part of a kit, rather than individually. Apparently when Kerry was asked about producing a book with just dog designs she said no, she couldn't come up with enough different breeds to justify a book

    Dynamo was a kit by the way, cost me £18, but Poppy cost me less than a fiver for two as I used a Alpaca blend.

    Always look on the bright side, if you can't find it then polish up the dull side.

    The little Schnauzer was so cute - we used to have three of them - lovely dogs.
