Dust Bunny Reviewed by Mary Toombs on 2011-04-07 ****
Used flat, black, sort of oval shaped beads for the eyes. Didn't like the ears on the pattern, so experimented, & used a sport-wt yarn so they'd be a little 'floppy.' Wasn't satisfied, so interwove some of the fun fur every few rows, & like that effect.
