I'd been meaning to re-visit the Fox softie pattern I started a while ago, and after a trip to the local charity shop resulted in an ideal coloured woollen jumper to felt, there was no excuse! The original pattern got tweaked slightly, but while I was sewing, another idea kind of popped up. When I begin a new pattern, the first decision I make is whether it's going to be a side on profile or front on profile. Usually, it's an obvious choice as to which will work best, but in this case, I'm not quite so sure...!
So, here we have them both,
FOX 1,

I prefer fox 2 too:)
Foxy two gets my vote. Love your combination of colours.
Fox 2. The other one is a bit strange in a cute sort of way!
I say Fox 2 -- she's darn cute!
I LOVE Fox #2!
Definitely Fox 2!!!
My votes for Fox 2 - although they both have something about them. :)
Fox 2.
I love the embroidery to make the tails bushy.
Does there have to be an either or? They are both delightful! I love the abstract quality of #1, and #2 has an adorable cuteness to him. Fantastic work.
Fox 2, definitevly. It so much friendly.
Oh wow, I like them both-maybe a tad more #2 :)
I love Fox #2 ... the face is just perfect!
Yep fox 2, i love the face :-)
Fox 2 for sure.
Oh, most definitely little Fox #2. The button at the end of his nose is just the right little addition. He's a cutie.

Both are darling, but I like the second one better. The face is so expressive.
Fox #2 is adorable!
Loving them both, but Mr.Fox 2 is my favourite, he reminds me of the clever fox in the Roald Dahl book :) x
I am so with the choir on this one! FOX #2!!!
Fox 2! I think he's really, really cute, in a foxy way!
I think they are both cute! I think I prefer Fox 2, but I think they would be good as a set.
Well, I'm going to through a wrench in the system and say Fox #1. Why? Because it is slightly more abstract and quirky! It's unique and I love it! That's the fox that I would want! He is just fabulous!
Fox 2, Fox 2!!!
fox 2 with no hesitation !
Fox 2. So cute and ...well, foxy!
Calx
no. 2 most definately
I'll join in the chorus...fox 2!
I can see your dilemma, but... Fox 2!! Utterly cute!
I like fox 2
Fox 2 without a doubt! Margaret L.
I love them both..;)no help here...they both have their own unique look..;)
I'm going with my instant choice and coincidentally nearly everyone else's too (!) and say Fox No.2 - I just love him!

Fox 2 does it for me too! :)
I like Fox 1! I know it's going against what everyone else is saying - but he's just so adorable!!!
Love him!
Definitely number 2, very cute!
Fox2 ... love his nose!
Fox 2 - hes so cute. Will you sell the pattern? As I'd love to buy it. x
Fox 2, although fox 1 is cute too.
Fox 2! I like his nose!
My vote is for Fox 2 :)
Number two is definitely more realistic, but I love the quirkiness of number one. He reminds me of Swiper the fox on Dora the Explorer. Your work is a constant source of amazement!
I guess two, but I do like number one a lot as well! Bit of a toss up because they're quite different each with their own charm.
adorable foxes! always the outcast here- i gotta say, number 1 is my favorite!!! ;D cheers!
Fox 2 gets my vote. Both are nice, but I love the #2. Great work!

they are both really cute, but probably side on fox wins by a nose!
#2 definately :)
O nº 2 é lindo, mas...
o nº 1 é M-A-R-A-V-I-L-H-O-S-O, é único, é criativo, é especial, é fora do do padrão, é fora do comum. É muito mais que especial.
Sou grande fã do teu blog.
do both but i love the quirkiness of fox 1, love your colors..jenxo
I am going against the tide of opinion and saying I really like Fox 1 best.
