So adorable! I just started this pattern. I knew I had to make it as soon as I saw the picture. I have a friend from college who worked on a research project about frogs. Of course, she was studying the frogs that were mutating and growing extra legs. Guess how many legs my froggy will have! :)

I love this little frog. However I hot glued large wiggle eyes on him and thought he was really cute.
