Why are knit rats and skunks so cute when, if you saw a real one you would probably scream and call the exterminators? But they’re so stinkin’ cute I had to make one. The little ones love it as they do all the stuffed animals I’ve made. I love this pattern. The tail was a little tedious, but I’m not usually bothered by that sort of thing and it came out great. As my first knit stuffed animal, and one of the first things other than socks and a frogged shawl, I made a squirell. The pattern I’m sure is great, the tail is done the same way, but I was a newby, I used ugly yarn and I never embroidered it’s face. Maybe I’ll make a project page for it someday. But this was great and I love knitting stuffed animals now, thanks to Saraek :D

Pictures to come :)
