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.

Pattern: Nathaniel by Ysolda
Yarn: Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends
Needles: US 9

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
Yay! Love the ornaments!

The squirrel needs more definition between body and tail. Could you take some of the same yarn and stitch down his back to give some separation? Your ornaments are adorable ! Bob is beautiful, even if he is a guy. Can’t wait to meet him!

That’s exactly what I said Mom! I told her that there needed to be a deeper crevice between head and tail! Better watch out! Bob will jump on you.
