Squirrel


Inga Madsen Tatted Animals pattern No 11. I wanted my squirrel to look more furry than the one in the book so I made the tail picots longer. I had lots of 'fun' blocking it. Tatted in DMC Perle Cotton 8 in Col. 107 (Variegated Carnation) and Col. 841 (Light Beige Brown).

    I love the picots. I have made this pattern, but I didn't think of doing that. This is one of my favorite books.

    Cute! Those long picots really are perfect. Did you use a picot guage? Oh, I bet they were "fun" to block!

    The flower made me think of "Flower" from the Disney movie BAMBI. I wonder whether the pattern would make a good skunk if you tat in black except for the chains from the nose to the base of the tail (which would be white, of course). I like the longer picots on your squirrel. Great job.

    I love your squirrel!!! I have 2 little stuffed animal squirrels, but yours is much cuter! I love the long picots to make the tail fluffy like a real squirrel! :)

    Your squirrel is really cute! Now I haven't been much into tatted critters but I just got all of Martha Ess's tatter critters on the block books and her Holidays on the block books so I guess I have all of Martha Ess's books so far! LOL! Anyway... my point is that I am starting to like tatted critters to a point LOL! Yours are darling! Where can I find Inga Madsen's book? Is it at Handy Hands Tatting? Do you know by any chance? :)

    I am so glad you all loved the squirrel. I have to say that it was my least favourite pattern of the book so I had to make it special.

    Eliz, I love your idea. I may tat it again in black & white.

    TattingChic, I got my book from The Book Depository with free shipping.
