The Squirrel is Finished!

Making the tail was interesting.  I will admit that I was worried that it would not look like I wanted it to look.  It doesn't, but it is okay.

Even if you aren't interested in making a squirrel, checking out the tutorial on making the tail is worth checking out for the technique.  This is something I had never really thought of doing...and will use on other projects.   One of my grandnieces loves horses.  This technique would product a pretty snappy mane.

I did embroider the eyes..not my best job but it works.  Safety eyes would not have given me what I wanted with this project.  The size would be way too big.....and the embroidered eyes just feel as though they are a better design choice.

This was a great project for learning new things.  Will I do it again?  Maybe.

Rabbit Hole Knits really is a great resource for stuffed animal patterns.   The added bonus is that a number of the patterns are free and none are inexpensive.
