Squirrels Gone Wild!
That’s what my t-shirt says right now and that’s what my house will be like if I have my way and knit up about 10 million of these squirrel cushions.

My love for this squirrel cannot be measured. I think it may be extra special to me because it reminds me of a quilt my grandma made that had applique squirrel silhouettes all over it. I seriously will be making more of them, just not out of the yarn I used. That Bernat Alpaca is just a bit too hairy for my tastes.
I know this will be hard to believe, but the squirrel isn’t the only thing I’ve completed.

I made these ornaments for my knitting group and had a few left over for myself. They are super cute and were fun and easy to make. For anyone who hasn’t already seen the special one I made for Loops:
Arrrgghh!
Loops, of course, loves him and refuses to have him as an ornament because he wants to look at him year round. He sort of reminds me of Bob.
Crazy-eyed Bob
