Thanks Hive account@muscara - I love trying out unusual colour combos - really gives the stuffies some character :) Next one I do, I really want to add spots or something! The shaping rows are ingenius! When you first read the pattern it looks mega complicated, but once you understand how these stitches form shape, you realise how clever it is! Ive got a couple of Vanessa Mooncie's books and she routinely uses this technique :)
