  <description>What's not to love?

My new design of meerkat wearing original series Star Trek sweaters. There are now five characters for you to choose between, and all now have a *prop* 

They wear Federation emblems proudly on their chests and have their ranking stripes on their sleeves.
Kirk is of course wearing gold, the original command colour. He holds a communicator.
Spock is in Science blue.  Spock (unusually for a meerkat) has those classic slanting eyebrows and has a tricorder slung over his shoulder.
Uhura has earrings and a comms device in her ear.
Scotty has a tricorder (can YOU think of something else for him?)
and Bones has a hypospray.

As with my non-trekkie meerkats, hind legs and tails are wired with pipe cleaners to allow them to self stand at approximately 7&quot; tall.

Meerkats are knitted to order, demand means this is currently taking me a week.

Beam me up an order, and I will boldly knit!

The price quoted is for ONE meerkat trekkie, Enterprise is NOT included. Not suitable for small trekkies owing to wiring and tiny beads.

Materials: acrylic yarn, polyfibre filling, pipecleaners, silver plated beads,</description>
