I added in the dark navy textural fur similarly to how you’d add trim to garments. I really like how this defines the colour segments. I may have also accidentally made a fancy-ish end cap…

I’m planning to do a sandwich of some black fur between the dark to light transitions on the top of the tail, just to add some extra texture, which meant I had to change the construction order to allow for those strips to easily be put in. I also like how this change to normal…

An entirely new bind off had to be developed for double knit twisted rib. I am so very grateful to a particular member of my fibre community would spent ages figuring out this bind off for me. It’s kinda evil (but not as evil as a previous iteration) and achieves the same stretchyness & look…

Got a lot done on the bee themed paws. Machined lining/claws/pads, installed & stuffed palm pads, completed side seams, & even did all the finnicky finger web seams (my least favourite bit).
