I have crocheted a lot of stuffed animals with the result I used the end of a crochet hook, bamboo stuffing tool, or other means to get stuffing into small places. The results weren&#8217;t always good. With this little stuffing tool I had great results finding the stuffing went where I wanted it to go so my animal took shape turning out really cute! I look forward to using this tool again and again! I highly recommend this tool!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations, Rita, I&#8217;ll email you to find out which pattern you&#8217;d like as your prize!<\/p>\n<p>* * * <\/p>\n<p>And now back to the important news of today: none of the famous groundhogs (Punxsutawney Phil, Wiarton Willie, and Shubenacadie Sam) saw their shadows this morning, so that means they all predicted an early spring &#8211; let&#8217;s hope they were right! <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/groundhog3.jpg\" alt=\"crocheted amigurumi groundhog by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been a whole year since the <a href=\"\/blog\/its-groundhog-day\/\">Groundhog-Along<\/a>!
