Possum- a rather fluffy bear



Thank you ALL for your LOVELY, KIND, ENCOURAGING comments about mr Fluff on my creative space. I was truly lovely because I was feeling a little down about him, thinking of giving up, yet had spent all this time on him and couldn't leave him alone.ANd I felt so encouraged and pressed on, despite my wobbles.
Anyway here he is, his name is Possum. I used 3 different yarns for him, a suri alpaca for his ears, arms and legs, that super fluffy yellow one, and a still fluffy but not quite up there white acrylic. He is not really a very troublesome bear, he just had a difficult birth, he likes playing leap from and lollipops and sitting in teacups, but he's not the best stander, and after many attempts of trying to get him to stand, I decided well not to push it, and if he doesn't want to, why should he?
I hope you like him after all this

Lovely bear (: He's very adorable. I see that you're experienced with chunky yarn - or fluffy, if you will. I bought a skein of it because I thought it would be nice to crochet with. How wrong I was; it's very hard to count stitches in and it "chunks" up. Any tips on how to work with this kind of yarn? It'd be appreciated; meanwhile, great job!
