Here is my first attempt at a felt creature made from an actual set of instructions:

My fantastic grandmother (the recipient of my earlier alpaca) got me Laurie Sharp’s Wool Pets, which had this pattern, along with a bunch of other equally neat creatures.

I actually made this right after Christmas, but have only gotten to post it now – things have been a little crazy in the lead up to my current status: ex-patriot living The Netherlands. It’s a temporary gig – 5 months. But that’s plenty of time to track down some yarn shops!
