Knit Chinchilla

[Lillybabe]

So, instead of sleeping.... I finished knitting a stuffed chinchilla. It was my first attempt at a knit stuffed animal. He turned out pretty nicely. A few mistakes as could be expected with the first attempt at a new project. Anyone else knit? I can forward the link to the pattern if people want it. I purchased the pattern so I can't post it for free. You'll have to spend the $3.00 if you want to make it yourself.

A few pics...

Aww that is too cute! Even your chin seems to like it. I don't knit but I do crochet...looks like I've got to hunt down a chinnie pattern now!

Very cute! I knit, but have never attempted a stuffed animal. I'd love the link so I can give it a try in the future.

Ravelry has a crochet pattern for a chinchilla here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chinchilla

Personally I liked the look of the crochet pattern better but my crochet skills are limited and I prefer knitting.

As for my chins liking it, they actually both initially tried to eat it. As I continued to try to get pictures of them and the knit chin together they could't decide if they wanted to run from it or munch it. It was hard to get any pictures at all. Especially since they also kept trying to climb all over me and escape at the same time. Silly chinchillas.
