Congrats! I once heard someone call DPNs “wrestling with a hedgehog”, which I’ve found entirely accurate.
Oh interesting. I would not have expected their eyes and lungs to be controlled by the same muscle.
A quick search turns up results for dilating eyes during a vet visit, so it’s definitely possible.
The owl even seems to be cooperating by keeping its eyes wide, though that might be a byproduct of the head pinch.
Haha. Not to mention the sound carries, so they’d probably spend ages creeped out by the distant screech of a horrifying predator before discovering it’s from a tiny ball of feathers.
I quite enjoyed the description on this one. Barn owls don’t look like they can produce such unholy sounds!
I’m pretty sure !superbowl@lemmy.world would love to see him too
The bonus pics are great. I enjoyed the cats on the starry cloth and their revenge capes.
They’re mostly constant. Sometimes you’ll see small stylistic differences, but the pattern author should give you a legend of the symbols. Personally, I like them since it’s easier to know which stitch of the precious row to work into.
It is so fluffy! Is it a typical single crochet amigurumi pattern under the fluff?
I agree with the other commenters - it’s definitely an advanced pattern.
One other thing I want to point out is it’s tagged with “chart” and the description says:
The pattern, in a diagram form, contains…
There’s a chance there’s no written pattern, so you’ll want to familiarize yourself with crochet symbols and charts before attempting it.
That white eye outline looks like a pair of glasses
I’m getting “He is…the most interesting bird in the world” vibes
The head to body ratio does seem off. I don’t know the background of this kitten, but maybe it has a condition like Hydrocephalus, which can cause an oddly shaped head.
I definitely thought snow camel was going to be a euphemism for moose but nope, that’s actually a camel
Fluffy belly!
Seconding hobbii, though I mostly buy their cotton yarns. They have rotating sales that change every week on Tuesday morning-ish Denmark time (each lasts 2 weeks), so the trick is to wait until the yarn you want is on sale.
