In the beginning stages of making a Digger-of-Unnecessarily-Convoluted-Tunnels, after reading the graphic novel again. I didn't have a light gray fur and thought I was going to have to use a dark gray, but at the last minute I found a great light gray on eBay. It's so wonderful that I may buy another two yards. (It's been years since I had a good light gray; I don't want to run out again for a loooooong time.)

For the body, I modified the "small teddy #3" pattern, which I *think* is the one I used for Blackie. I made the butt bigger, the stomach rounder, the arms a bit longer, and the legs a bit shorter.

For the head, I'm trying a modification of the standing rabbit head, but I need to test it in fleece before going ahead with the critter.

Not quite sure what I'm doing about the claws. Felt or fleece would be by far the simplest, but sewing them out of faux leather/naugahyde would probably look better.

I can probably use the same vest pattern that Aeryn is wearing.
