Thank you to all that will apply! You will not be considered without commenting! I need to know what you can make in order to assign animals fairly! If you read everything, in your comment add an emoji of your favorite asian animal!
THIS IS AMAZING SCARLET OMG!! I would LOVEE to test the red panda in bernat blanket or acrylic (which ever is needed more) with a 4mm hook <3 Red pandas are my twins favorite animal so I would LOVEEE to make this for her. I would also be willing to test the sun bear as they are my mom’s favorite animal in the same yarn and hook.
These are so adorable! I have quite a long time to wait during my performances so I would love to test the tiger or the red panda! (tiger is my first preference <3 but I can do the red panda if needed)
Would you say the sewing is tedious for the tiger?
I would love to test Sprout! All of the animals look adorable!
I could do a test in acrylic as well as chenille yarn. Usually with a 3.5-4mm hook for acrylic and 4-4.5mm hook for chenille (depending on what brand I am using)
Scarlet….they…are…so CUTE ! I would LOVE to test the tapier with a 3.25 mm hook and acrylic yarn! I also want to make one with a 4mm and chenille yarn, as well as one with double stranded acrylic and a 4mm! (I should have time to make 3 tapiers but if I don’t I’ll probably make the chenille one!) tapir emoji
I wouldn’t say the sewing is too bad, just need to sew the head and tail to the body and sew the ears to the head. But the embroidery for the stripes can take upwards of 30 minutes if you’ve never done extensive embroidery before, but I also enjoy embroidery more than sewing.
I would love to test Socks the Red Panda.
I’m great managing with multiple colors at the same time.
I’d use Big twist Posh size 5 yarn and 4.5mm hook
(Now, I know lots are asking for the red panda, so I’d totally switch over to Buster the Tapir if needed. I’m curious why you think the Tapir is the hardest. I like a challenge)
