I'm feeling rather chuffed with how this turned out grin!
DGS (18 mths old, bless!) calls it 'Cuddles'.....

Oh bum....why has it turned through 90 degrees....confused, was right way up in 'preview'!

Looks great to me loopy and the right way up! grin

Seriously weird! It was on its side when I opened the thread on Active.
Thank you Phoenix....and I haven't had any wine.....

Looks great
I can see why he has been christened 'Cuddles'
(Nice even knitting btw!)

I made that same lion for my grandson! The mane was a bit tedious, wasn't it? But so worth it - I loved the final result. I also made the elephant and the monkey from the same book but have yet to tackle the rest of the animals.

It's lovely, isn't it? I've done the monkey, zebra and crocodile too.
The lion's mane took me ages to fathom out......
Can't seem to upload photos, for some reason!

Monkey!

Love it. He looks very jolly. My DGS has a beanie baby lion he call RaRa.

I absolutely love the monkey!!

They both look fantastic, but the monkey does it for me!

I love the monkey too! smile

Oh I love your zaney monkey! It never occurred to me to do it in a multicoloured yarn - it really suits this pattern. Well you know what I'm going to do with the next one, don't you, haha! The only photo I've got of mine is very festive because I made them as a Christmas present for my then 6 month old grandson (and took this shot to post on another site).
And, erm, I'm having problems uploading this photo...

I wish I could knit! Love these.

AshTree Sun 22-Mar-15 08:20:40

Here they are!

They are lovely AshTree, I know just how much work they entail.
I've just sent Zog the zebra off to DGS, unfortunately I can't attach my photo, ipad just freezes....
