This was a bit of a hard slog, but Monty has a missus!!!!!!!............and here is the pattern Download meerkat.pdf .
Making a meerkat is deceptively simple and because these two look lonely by themselves - I think I am going to need to give them some more meerkat friends and meerkat babies. They are a little more time consuming than the pom or frog, but just because they are bigger
I hope you enjoy making your meerkat, and maybe you can let me see a picture when you are done, so that monty can see his relatives. I'd really love that!
I am very much looking forward to my holiday next week...crochet time only interrupted by long walks by the lochs...perfect. I will take lots of pics, and maybe the meerkats will get an outing or two.
we look up to you
YOU ROCK!!!!! You have an amazing talent with these 'fuzzy' animals!!!! I am in awe!!

How cute!
I'm a huge fan of a show called Meerkat Manor, on Animal Planet! These would be awesome to make! I'd love to make my own Flower doll... in memory of her.
Thank you so much for making such an awesome pattern! :D

Just love your Meerkats, they are a favorite of mine also, especially Flower. I am in the USA and have never heard of a crochet 'magic circle', please, could you explain it too me? I do want to make several of these cute critters. Thnak You for the free patterns, Elizabeth in the USA

That is SO wonderful. There aren't the right words to say how cute they are! And thanks for making the pattern free... though with talent like that you could easily have your own book and I would buy it :) Maybe a crochet version of Meerkat Manor?

I've been having problems accessing this (my problem not yours) and I'm really pleased I've got it now. It's a great pattern, and you've done such a brilliant job of writing it up with all the in-progress photos. You are extremely talented and generous! Thank you!

I really, really, REALLY think you should use the photos of your meerkats along with the quotes you've written and throw them onto cafepress.com. I can think of several people who would order T-Shirts with these guys on them!
