Zebra
The costume making business that I often work for made 1/2 the costumes for the Austral-Asia production of "The Lion King" this year - so they wanted a Lion King theme for their Christmas party...
They gave me the new book by the "Best in Show" team - "King your own Zoo" on Saturday afternoon with the party the following Wednesday evening - just over 4 days - to knit as many animals as possible ... I got 5 done.
The first off the needles was this Zebra (I knitted the unitard costumes for the Zebras in the show - so it seemed apt !!).
These animal patterns make very realistic critters but they are not easy.
Oh - I should've trimmed the mane shorter for a more realistic look ... but I kinda liked the longer "punk" look :-)
