#1) No muzzle, small nose. #2) No muzzle, big nose.
#3) Just muzzle. #4) Muzzle and white tummy.
So let me know what you think. Which one should I stick with?
Onto other news....I was very bad today. I spent waaaaaaay too much on yarn at the grand opening of Len's Mills. They had oodles of bulk packs of yarn on special. Granted, I saved a TON off the regular prices on what I bought...but would I have bought that much if it wasn't on sale? Nope! Did I get any of the pure bamboo or mohair or alpaca yarn that I was looking for? Nope! They didn't have any. :( They had some mixes (like the 15% alpaca/85% wool blend I debated on for a good 10 minutes) but I decided to wait and save my tiny yarn budget until I can find what I really want.
Of course I then went and blew that tiny budget out of the solar system. As in....4 months of budget gone in 1 afternoon. Oops! However I did get a lot of yarn that I have ideas for to make as gifts for Christmas, so that doesn't count right? :D Want to see what I got? Here, lookie......mmmmm yarn goodness.....
Details:
-I picked out three of the 1 lb bags of factory mill ends, that they had on for $4. Yes! $4 for a whole pound of yarn! Mmmm. One bag appears to be a nice roving wool. The other 2 look like crafting cotton.
-A big package of brown crafting cotton to make my mother dishcloths and hand towels for in the kitchen for $8.
-3 balls of Bernat Soft Boucle
-6 balls of Patons baby bamboo in blue (no clue what I'll use it for, but at $13 for 6 balls when it's $7.50/ ball regularly, and I adored working with their silk/bamboo for the seal)
3 balls of Bernat satin sport in a nice light brown and 6 balls of Bernat satin cause I just couldn't say no to the prices.
-3 balls of Bernat Boa. Fun feathery stuff in blue. Maybe I'll make a cookie-monster type hand puppet for the nephew out of it. My mother has a scarf I knit her of the exact same shade a few years ago that she loves. -Last but not least there are 3 balls of Bernat Cot'n Corn. Because I've been looking at it for awhile and it was a nice green colour and only $3 or $4 for all 3 balls.
-3 packs of extra tapestry needles and a package of coloured safety pins for stitch markers when knitting on DPNs (my solid loops just don't work on them).
-6 pieces of felt. Four of which are more of a heavy fleece than felt, and soooooo soft. I want to try and make baby booties out of them.
Teehee. Reading this over, it's pretty clear who Lens Mills deals with for their yarn selection.
Grand total: $76.62. Meeeeep! However I figure it is about $250 worth of yarn. Not too bad. :)
So many projects .... spinning thru my head!
Until next time, happy crafting!

I like version 3 the best. I think his head shape is better with the muzzle. I also like version 4, but when viewing him from the front like you pictured him, you can more easily tell that 3 is supposed to be a tiger. The white tummy sort of camouflages it (I really have no idea how to spell that word). He is very cute though. Toss him some shades and he'd be a stand-in for Chester Cheetah from the Cheeto-s ads. : )
