Hi Sarah, thanks so much for commenting and sharing your experience! Yes, feeling for stitches is a real thing and it sounds like you did a great job of conquering the faux fur! Thanks for the helpful tips for other makers and I hope you enjoyed <3

I had some Lion Brand, Go For Faux, quick and thick left over from a different project. 7 Jumbo on the thickness scale. I learned that crochet by Braille is a thing! This stuff was so fuzzy there was NO seeing stitches. Only way I had any idea where I was in the pattern was by feeling the stitches from the previous rounds. It did go pretty quick once I got the hang of feeling my stitches(I did use a smaller hook than was listed in the pattern, sooo…) Unless you have jumbo stitch markers, use a contrasting piece of *heavy* yarn laid between your stitches as a marker, otherwise you’ll lose them in all that fuzz. I used 15mm eyes and kinda wish I’d gone larger as they tend to get lost in the fur. Also, because this is rather thick, extra long shanks on the eyes would be helpful.
