Happy Birthday Mummy! we made you a cake all by ourselves…

Mmmmm yummy, we will first roll in it, then we will eat it.

The Dachshund seaside holiday

We went to the seaside with all our friends and stayed in a lovely house near the sea….We played, we ran, we barked, we ate nice food and we played some more. The seaside is our best thing!

When Gok met the Knitting Dachshunds at Holly and Lil

Wilhelm and Wolfgang the knitting Dachshunds were delighted to meet the charming Gok Wan today whilst browsing the finest collars and leads in their favourite shop Holly and Lil. Even more exciting though, they met his new puppy Dolly, a cute French Bulldog with a passion for plastic water bottles.

They got very excited and asked Gok for advice on the best collar colours to suit their shiny fur……….. but with daddy’s voice echoing in their tiny ears “no more expensive collars and leads, they’ve got enough.” They returned home empty handed.

Booo hooo…. maybe next time.

Four Candles – Two Hundred Oxen

Wilhelm and Wolfgang, the knitting Dachshunds are big fans of the Two Ronnies….. they laughed at Two Hundred Oxen.

 

Rarrrrr….. I. Am. A. Raptor.

Wolfgang likes the warm weather. It means that demand for wooly canine knitwear is low.

There is plenty of time for playing dressing up and scaring the next door’s cat.

Brighton Dachshunds Sausage Walk

The Dachshunds had a fabulous walk last Sunday in aid of Sport Relief. It was a beautiful spring day for a walk in some pretty woods near Horsham. Between them all they have raised £330. Not bad for a Sunday waddle!

Thanks to Catherine Gillo for some super pictures.

The Dachshund Sausage Walk!

The Dachshunds are walking a teeny tiny mile or two in aid of Sport Relief.

Did you know that for every step a human takes, a Dachshund will take approximately 100000 steps! this means they are facing an incredible challenge, but they’re determined to finish, IN COSTUMES!

So why not sponsor their tiny paws and huge efforts with a little donation…..?

Dachshund Art

Wolfgang saw an elephant paint a picture of a flower, on the BBC news yesterday……. he snorted dismissively “that’s not even a real trunk, it’s a glove puppet” and scampered off to his workshop to create his own ‘art’…… or rather a ‘notice’ (which is now pinned clearly to the large oak tree in the driveway…..

UN of Dachshunds

Bennet Miller is searching for 60 Dachshunds to join him in Birmingham for his UN of Dachshunds – 60 dachshunds from across the West Midlands are needed  to participate in a piece of live art.

‘Dachshund U.N.’ is to be performed in a central location in Birmingham on Saturday 31 March. It is a fun (and often chaotic!) piece, and will be a great meeting of Dachshunds in the city, and dog and art-lovers alike.

The knitting Dachshunds would love to join in - Wolfgang can be France and  run away….. which would kinda spoil things.

You can join the fun by sending an email to dachshund@wearefierce.org

Here’s a great video of the performance in Melbourne in 2010  http://tinyurl.com/DachshundFierce

It’s snowing! How about a cute neck warmer?

It’s snowing!! How about a hand knitted scarf  to keep you warm?

We’ve been busy

Two lovely warm sweaters have been finished this week and another is well underway….. we’ve finished a beautiful green sweater in a medium size but our favourite is the natural brown sweater made from Sirdar’s Eco yarn…. it’s beautiful and soft…. our poor paws need a rub!

Happy New Year

2012 began with seaside holiday on the Isle of Wight. We didn’t like the ferry but we loved the hotel, they left biscuits out for us and we got a sausage each for breakfast….

 
 

Ho ho ho, happy Christmas everybody!

Winter sunshine

 We have been very busy today and so now we sleep in the warm winter sun.

Mission accomplished

Mmmmmm we’ve just eaten all the cat’s food. Delicious marinated chicken chunks in jelly.

Superhound Supermodel

Wolfgang is sashaying around, wiggling his bott and swishing his tail right under Wilhlem’s nose….. whilst singing “I’m so pretty, oh so pretty, oh so pretty and happy and gay” because he has been chosen as the cover model for the 2012 Brighton Dachs calendar….to which Wilhelm replies “at least one of those things is a LIE”……..

OK, so how long till October?

 

And now we hide…..

The Dachshunds are hiding… they know they have to knit for Alice Dachshund this afternoon. They are hiding in their new snuggly dach sacks from Dachshunds in London

Dachshund deliveries!

The Dachshunds have been out in the cold this morning to deliver lovely warm sweaters to little Sarah Dachshund and Clive Dachshund.
Multicolour sweaters - Knitted by Dachshunds

They liked visiting their friends but were slightly puzzled by a cozy fur throw on the sofa that barked and moved. They also want a big tree that’s covered in dog chews and toys just like they have!

 

We have control

The Dachshunds ate a computer cable in a fit of rage. Furious at being left alone whilst humans go to watch stand-up comedy without them, they angrily bit right through the computer power cable…… laughing as they escape death yet cause a fuse to short. They also ate through the telephone line, simultaneously cutting off the mobile phone booster box – leaving the humans without any communication tools.

Naughty knitted by Dachshunds

Hilarious. Now get back to work, there are 3 cold Dachshunds waiting for sweaters!!

Girly pink sweaters

The Dachshunds have just finished a delightful pretty girl pink sweater. They have simply refused to model it for the website, so here it is, on plain white card instead.

Our labels have arrived

 Knitted by Dachshunds The Dachshunds are beside themselves with joy as their lovely labels arrived today.

Or maybe their excitement was due to the Postman being on the doorstep for 10 minutes faffing aorund and  forcibly shoving the parcel through the letterbox till it ripped apart?

Our lovely cards have arrived!

Huge excitement  at the Knitted by Dachshunds workshop today ……. our lovely business cards have arrived from Moo.

Beautiful buttons

The Dachshunds went to Surrey Foam on Saturday, a great little craft shop that sells very little foam but quite a lot of everything else. Zips, yarn, thread, fabric, buckles, buttons you name it,…. they have it.

It’s also probably the most chaotic little shop you have ever seen! Empty boxes scattered around, muddled up shelves, products in the wrong place or dropped all over the floor, sheer chaos…. but a sort of nice, comfortable and homely chaos.

Wolfgang Dachshund loved the disorder, it made him very excited, he was dashing about with ribbons and paper trailing behind him…. Wilhelm sniffed a little, put his nose in the air and declared “this place upsets my freshly pressed sense of calm” as he serenely paid for his buttons and continued with his day.

Here are some of their lovely new buttons…

Milbemax is NOT a cold-cure!

Knitting by Dachshunds has been struck by a virus, the Dachshunds are most insistent that Milbemax is taken as a cure, all wrapped up in a piece of cheese to disguise the taste! hhmmm I see a large slice of karma (no not korma Wolfgang!) is served too!

Ant Music

Last night the Dachshunds went to see Adam Ant. It was all very piratey and they loved all the “oi oi aye” and “Ahhhh haaaaa” shoutyness of the songs…. mostly because it sounded a bit like barking. They liked the Admiral Nelson hats too.
Adam Ant loves knitting by Dachshunds

Anyway, this morning instead of finishing the lovely size 10 multi colour sweater like he should, Wolfgang is jumping out from behind doors pointing a crochet hook at everyone, shouting “stand and deliver, your money or your WIFE“.

Astrid the IT Director is getting a bit cross with it now.

Workshop whirlwind

The Dachshunds are dashing around the workshop this morning, frantically preparing everything ahead of their official launch this weekend…..

Wilhelm is in a tizz, he’s barking at his friend Lily who lives next door, she wants a sweater because she’s just had a haircut and she’s a bit chilly. Klaudia is getting a bit cross with Excel spreadsheet and Gerhart is swearing at PayPal, he doesn’t like the way they make you transfer 1p to verify your account. He changed the password to something very rude and Astrid thinks that’s a bit offensive to ladies.

Wolfgang has eaten some snippets of wool that fell on the floor.
