I don't know what these guys look like but they certainly don't look like meerkats or even the pattern for that matter. The one on the right is my second attempt (the first was completely frogged) and I spent three hours on the the third attempt on the left last night (while watching Dexter Season 2 which is awesome, by the way).
I think my bamboo yarn is too thick and I'm going to need to cut back a few rows (these are already two rows short of what she calls for). And then there's the mohair.
The bottom one was my first choice and the top is closer to what I want but not fuzzy enough. I think my next attempt will be using both.
My inability to reach the level of cuteness set by the original on the pattern is really causing me undue stress. It's ridiculous.
They are cute anyway! You crack me up with the struggle to obtain maximum cuteness. I joined a crochet-along on ravelry, but still suck : )

I can't imagine crocheting with mohair. You deserve some sort of brave needlecrafter award.
