The Russian Frog
I gave it that name because the pattern was in Russian this time, which was a bit of a challenge for me. :) The designer goes by jelena03; her real name is Elena Dorsh (Елена Дорш).
Putting the frog together involved learning some basic needle sculpting, for which I'm very grateful to the ladies in one of my Bulgarian charity craft groups; one of her even took step-by-step photos of doing that on the crochet toy that she was putting together. It turned out that it works somewhat different on knitted fabric, but I managed it after some trail and error.
And when I finally finished the frog, it didn't even make it to the charity's fundraising page because one of our crocheters liked it so much that her fiance both it for her for Valentine's Day, so it got reserved right off our working group on Facebook and I sun sent it off to its new home. :)
