I have been very busy recently knitting these ferrets. They are made using double knitting wool and eyelash yarn held together. They take quite a while to make but I think they look convincing. It has taken me 6 months of practice to get them looking like ferrets what do you think?
From left to right we have a Sandy an Albino and a Silver.
Oh my!!! Way too cute and and gave me a good chuckle at this early hour!! Great job!!!:lol:
So cute!!!
Hee hee before I read the text I looked at the photo and I thought ‘wow, they really look like ferrets actually!, except for the fur, they kind of look like ferrets would if they had a wash and blowdry, cause the fur’s different’. So yes really convincing. I thought about posting that… and then I thought ’ where else but here would you see a post beginning with
‘I have been very busy recently knitting these ferrets.’
Then I saw ‘it has taken me about 6 months to get them looking like ferrets’ and thought 'hell why was she so keen on succeeding on getting ferret-like ferrets? Seriously did she need some knitted ferrets or something?'
Hmmm I might make their butts a bit smaller maybe? I’m only criticising because you asked - sorry. But I never had a pet ferret so don’t really know… They certainly look lifelike. Sandy kind of reminds me of a possum! (we have way more possums than ferrets in NZ so that’s not a reflection on your knitting)
Really cute and better than teddy bears IMO because they are kind of floppy! I like how you made Sandy’s ears less hairy because that’s what ferret ears look like right? Skillz on the body shaping.
Just out of curiosity was this kind of an exercise in making something look like what you wanted… or do you know a kid who loves ferrets… or were they props or was it just a whim?
If they were posed with heads up in the air they would definitely pass for ferrets on a brief glance.

OMG!!! Get out the traps!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, they do look real but one question…why a knitted ferret???:??
they are cute!
are you sending the pattern anywhere?
are they for kids, or just you?
can I use one to trick my friend? she would jump a mile high…ha ha (just kidding) they are seriously cute, and to me- the definitely look like ferrets! good job!
Oooh !! THey are adorable. I lOVE them. Great work !!:happydance::balloons:
they are fantastic! would you be willing to share your pattern? my sister is devoted to her ferrets, and i would love to knit her a few.
Oh my goodness!!! This is so cute!!! I absolutely love them. 
Thanks for the smile! :teehee:
Those are SO adorable!!!
Way too cute. You need to make a white and brown one and name it Kiki.
(Anyone else read Sluggy Freelance? :teehee:)
Ooo… I would love the pattern as well if you are going to share. I miss my ferret, she was such a clown!
I would like the pattern also. My daughter wants a ferret, but I told her not in my house!!
How cute!!
Ditto here! Only it would be for my 15 yr old cousin who’s ferret recently passed. Her mom said no more ferrets, and she’s just crushed. This would be totally awesome!
very nice!
Those are so incredibly cute!!! 
Do you have a pattern for them?
Wonderful, I love them!
They’re soooo cute!
Ohh this is just too adorable:heart:
I wish I had one of these:hug:
