Back in 2012, I made a
Collie dog like the mascots of Texas A&M. Its owner, having loved her own, asked if I would make a second for a baby shower she was attending. I was happy to oblige and happened to have all the colors and stuff I would need on hand. As before I used the same pattern,
Abbey the Collie by Nattypat and changed up the colors and made the neck fluff a bit larger like a collie dog.
This time I got a bit ambitious with the coat and added three browns in addition to the white and really tried to place the colors along the face and neck like a real dog. I did think about brushing out the yarn but thought it might be a bit
too fluffy. Once again I sort of winged the cape and added the Texas A&M logo.

I am pretty happy with how this second one turned out and it's kind of nice to see the differences and change in skill from 2012 to today. Video below to see the full turn around.
