I am 82 and I love these little critters. Just saw the snowman. I really want to make these guys. Did I miss doing the eye part and would it be safer if around babies and toddlers to embroider eye like a ‘crocheted bump’ instead? Thanks a million. Look me up on google if you wish. I have 4 short books on amazon/kindle and more in the works. Love knitting, crocheting, simple drawing and painting. Just have to keep one foot in front of the other these days, otherwise lots of ‘chair work’ for this lady. Thanks a million for posting this. I have COPD so am lung compromised for air intake. Hubby had 2 heart attacks and 2 swerious back injuries, but we keep on keeping on the best we can. Thanks again. Vickey Stamps
