Decided to try this pattern because I ordered the Eeyore kit from the UK and wanted to practice some of the techniques like short rows that I am not that used to doing.

Fiddly (mainly due to working with small needles and a small project) and had to redo sections as I went along.

Tested several yarns and colors I had in my stash before I was able to get a good combination that would work and look ok. Also went from size 4 US down to size 3 US to keep stuffing from peeking through.

Pattern is well written and easy to follow but small needles and especially stitching together, working icords takes patience and concentration, not a pattern to watch tv to

Worked on embroidered eyes. Used Pebble Island for eyeballs, split yarn, used one ply sewn horizontally in loops, to make oval shape. Outlined with two plies. Used black Lion Brand cashmere sewn vertically just 3 stitches, close together and gently pulled up to create pupil. All eye related yarns were secured by tying carefully into square knots inside the frog head.
