Snowy McFlurry (& pattern)

I joined the Snowman CAL on Crochetville this morning and finished my little guy just minutes ago.

Isn't he cute? He stands about 2 1/2 inches tall.

I designed him from start to finish and I am so happy with how he turned out. Especially since I haven't really done much crocheting at all lately... *sheepish grin*

So for the details:

Pattern: Snowy McFlurry, my own design
Yarn: Bernat Baby fingering weight in a shimmering "White", an unknown red with silver metallic thread worsted weight, white worsted weight, and orange embroidery floss, small amount of each
Hooks: Steel size 1 for head/body, steel size 2 for carrot nose, H for hat and scarf
Started: November 18, 2006
Finished: November 18, 2006
Dimensions: 2 1/2" tall

I'll post the pattern tomorrow along with some good news!
