Quote: No, I found them on peniterest and was floored by how little the hooks must have been to make them. And the panda is fuzzy. They used fuzzy string. I would have gone nuts. Maybe a surgical robot was programed to do it or something. I mean, how do you crochet and hold the magnifying glass?

I used to do those- made a mini chicken. I used a tiiiiny crochet hook and sewing thread. They probably made the panda fuzzy by rubbing it with a toothbrush.


My chicken-

My father, who works for a company that sells some Melissa and Doug stuff, brought this home for me. Apparently they wanted to know what the "chicken expert" thought of it. I give it an A+. What do you guys think??

I think children, especially babies ,would love all those bright colors. I'm a lot younger on the inside, so I would love it too.
