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...
