Giant knitted animals

[vilakins]

The knitters and crafters among you may be interested in these huge animals knitted by Lion Brand for the Crafts and Hobby Association Show this year. There are some great photos on Flickr showing the design, making, and finished items--look at them via slideshow to see them full-screen. There's a lion (of course!), a bird, a snake with gorgeous markings, and an argyle giraffe which I know one of you will especially like. ;-)

I googled & found on their blog they say there are links to instructions for smaller versions of the Lion, Giraffe and Snake. You have to register with Lion Brand to have access to their free patterns.

I looked at those (I got the links on their newsletter) but they're not small versions, just little animals. You could make the amigurumi giraffe for your project though,

I've got a backlog of giraffe stuff to do once I clear up some current projects. :^) I'm making progress!
