​The slippers only had two votes so the toy squirrel was the winning pattern.

About the materials:
The pattern materials are listed as:
  • 4 ounces of knitting worsted weight yarn in light brown or tan
  • Small amount of yarn in dark brown for eyes and nose, red for mouth
  • Stuffing material
  • Ribbon for neck
  • Felt for eyes
  • Plastic nut
  • Sizes G and H crochet hooks
 
I’ll use Red Heart Super Saver in a tan color. 
The pattern doesn’t give finished dimensions.  It uses two strands of worsted weight yarn together which is like using bulky yarn so I’m going to guess between 8 and 10 inches.   I might have a pattern for an acorn so I’ll substitute that for a plastic acorn.
 If I run out of the tan yarn I’ll do the tail in a different color and I'll try not to make his eyes quite so sad.

Now for the winner of Barby Q!

Five people commented on the blog and their names went into a drawing for Barby Q.  I asked a guest to be the impartial third party and draw the name.  Aaron Green is in town to teach an Energy Arts Class.  

The winner is Rachel!
