I was just reading about these things on Neatorama (this comment thing won't let me post a link, oh well.) Apparently 1 in 10,000 squirrels in the US & Canada is black. Dunno what the statistics are on crochet squirrel sightings, though . . . I imagine they're much rarer. :)JenGoPophttp://jenmadestuff.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788959362283659665.post-75377032744309916482009-06-17T08:32:43.357-07:002009-06-17T08:32:43.357-07:00Squire is the most charming and heartwarming squir...Squire is the most charming and heartwarming squirrel ever!!!

Yes, the trickery involves fading the clear beading wire that was tied from Squire's head to an angled wooden dowel above.
