zOomiger

zOomiger is really a pussy cat.  He wears a tiger outfit and a fake tail so that he can pretend to be a tiger, but he is given away by his meow.  Wearing the tiger outfit didn't boost his self-esteem as he is still extremely shy and timid.  He has a fear of mice, when he sees one, his eyes bloat up like balloons.

The zOombees collection finally completed

Its been a while since I've posted, but I'm glad I'm back.  zOomiger was the hardest and slowest to complete out of the 4, and with work piling up in the office, knitting was put on the back burner.  But with Richard constantly saying I've got a short attention span and that knitting was a passing fad, I picked up my needles to proof that knitting will never be one of them.

I have made some adjustment to the design of zOomiger as I wanted him to have a more feistier look than i first designed him.  Anyhow, the 4 of them looked awesome together.

zOomoose

zOomoose contracted mad moose disease.  He is a very clumsy and crazy moose.  Furthermore, he screams like a girl.  Although his favourite food is brains, but he’s allergic to it.  This is why his eye bloats like a balloon and has a droopy tongue.
