Knit Mammoth!
I originally didn't post about this because the pictures suck, but whatever, I'm doing it anyway.I knit a woolly mammoth for a fundraiser.
I used this garter stitch elephant pattern, using some brown acryllic crap and fun fur (to keep it woolly!). I then added a pair of animal eyes, which I couldn't get level, despite my best efforts, and a pair of tusks, which I didn't stabilize with pipe cleaners, so they drooped.
Then I stuffed the hell out of it with a bag and a half of fiberfill.
Personally, I think it's one of the uglier things I've made, but everyone else loved it. At the silent auction, it sold for the maximum bid. Which only goes to show, there's no accounting for my taste.
