Probably a strange request

[frogbeer]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone had a pattern for or knew where I could get a pattern for a crocheted sugar glider. I'd like a somewhat easy pattern for a stuffed sugar glider toy (like the amurigumi dolls). I know that some folks are going "What in the world is a sugar glider?" It is a small marsupial originating from Australia and Indonesia. They are quite adorable and it is very hard to find anything that involves crocheting concerning them. They look similar to a southern flying squirrel, although they are no relation at all. I am hoping to make some of these for some sugar glider rescue events coming up and for some close friends who also love these little critters. Thank you to all who help!!! :manyheart

Cupcake (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/member.php?u=3917) is in Australia and has been very good about making native animals. You might want to contact her and see if she might be able to come up with something for you. I once had a special request for something and within a day she made something up and there was a pattern!

oh dear. The sugar glider is on my list of critters under development. I looked at these on the weekend, and wondered, now who in the heck would want a crocheted sugar glider??

I guess now I know!

and thanks knick knack for the nice words. How did those little guys turn out?

Oh you are so welcome Cupcake!

I made 10 of those Hawks for the School Carnival Craft Department and they all sold! They were asking for more!

I told them I was only one person! :rofl

Yeah, we have some breeders near here. Mostly in Ohio. But both of my little darlings are rescues. I can't wait until you're finished with the pattern!!! Please let me know how to get a copy!!! This will be great as an auction or donation item for our rescues! Thanks so much and I'll keep an eye out on this thread or you can PM me! :hug
