Wake up woodchuck chuckers, it’s GROUNDHOG DAY!!  Reports are in that the official groundhog meteorologists have seen their shadows, but not so much here in Alabama.  Desmond is recommending Keens and t-shirts in coming weeks.

I wrapped up this amigurumi project or the Groundhogalong in the nick of time, sewing up the last of the pieces and giving him a little embroidered schnoz just after lunch.  This project was a blast!

The details:

Remnants of two colors of KSD Merino Fine, dye-test skeins (available current colors-Dram and Mycroft).
Yarn was held doubled, two of the light brown for body, one of each for ears, tail, and limbs.
Size E hook
button eyes, embroidered nose, stuffed with wool roving

Desmond will be hanging out with me tonight on the sofa as we watch Groundhog Day on Blue-ray.  You can also see his cousins Phil over at Sister Diane’s, and Ned Ryerson over at Kim Werker’s, and if you want a cute little groundhog of your very own, head over to Planet June for patterns for the groundhog and a menagerie of amigurumi crochet critters.

And one more thing…BING!
