Felted Koala, Part 1

I started the Fiber Trends Felted Koala on Wednesday with the hopes of getting it complete for Australia Day, which was on Friday the 26th. It's a much more complicated pattern than the Hedgehog! Many more pieces and more sewing up at the end. Anyway, I didn't get it done for Australia Day - my daughter is way into Australia, so it was going to be a surprise for her. I finally finished the knitting and sewing up tonight (around 10:30 pm). Here's what it looks like pre-felting:

I used Plymouth Galway for the main color and Sandnesgarn Kitten for the mohair chest patch & inner ears (both from 3 Kittens) and some leftover Cascade 220 for the nose and feet. Tomorrow, I'll felt...
