The axolotl is from a pattern by Whimsical Yarn Creations, they work up nice and fast too.
AllFromJade makes super patterns and the frog is an amazingly quick pattern and now I’ve got the mouth how I prefer I really love them.
I’ve chosen Zoomigurumi 9 as my pattern book for the month of May, I initially picked Perry the Otter but I also have Toco the Toucan and Gerty the Gecko. I will have a ponder and check my yarn shed then finally decide.
