What is your favorite animal?

Do you like zoo animals?

Is the giraffe your favorite? (It's my sister-in-law's favorite)

Or maybe wild donkeys?

Perhaps the rhinocerous?

Or maybe the king of the beasts?

We took this pics in San Diego, at the Wild Animal Safari Park.

It gave me lots of ideas for what I want to knit. Keep an eye on Woolies. You never know what might appear.

Lion

I have so many ideas and not enough time! I've been wanting to make a lion for a long time - and here he is! Based on a fuzzy mitten pattern (who writes the best knitted stuffed animal patterns ever), I'm still not sure he is 'lion-like' enough. Next time, I'll position his ears on the side of his head more, and maybe make his snout narrower.

Anyway, he's soft and cuddly - he's knit from warm brown fuzzy alpaca, and I hope somebody loves him enough to take him home. He's in my Woolies shop. I hope you like him!
