I just read Tideland, and watched the movie. In both, there's a part when the protagonist frees a talking squirrel from being stuffed and sewn. Somehow, that translated into me really wanting a hat with squirrels on it. It's a damn shame I didn't realize I was using size 6 needles on a size 8 sorta project until I was completely finished and went to put away the needles.
This was my first attempt at knitting anything from a graph into the round, and I don't think it turned out too badly. But, unfortunately, since my gauge was off (thanx for not being numbered Addi-turbos!) he's being sent away to the ol' Etsy shop to make some other squirrel enthusiast smile.
If you haven't seen or read Tideland, here's a quick overview:
And if you haven't checked out the shop yet:

HAHAHA..It is so sad both guys gone away to etsy shop!

Cute squirrels!!
Love those little squirrels! It's too bad it came out too small for you, but at least now you have experience with doing intarsia in the round. Do you think you'll make one for yourself?
Great hat. I like the colors.
That's awesome sir.
It's just as you explained it at work. Too bad your dome is too big for such a cute hat!
haha j/k but seriously make another
I like the hat! I guess that is why everything I read or watch (knitty gritty on DIY network) they emphasis gauge and making sure it's correct?
You did a fantastic Job, Kudos to you!
