The Moose is Loose!

I have worked on this little guy off and on for the last couple of months, and finally finished him up at Thursday night knitting at Twist.

So it's safe to say that he was born in a yarn shop.

Vital stats: He is knit with vintage wool, Brunswick Germantown, that has been in my stash for +/- 20 years. His antlers are an i-cord worked around a chenille stem, that is then twisted on itself.

As with all newborns, you must check out his "toes"! On the front legs, there is a little bit of shaping to create the hooves. On the back legs, look closely and you will see bobbles to create the hoof toes.

I have good intentions of getting the instructions written up to make Mr Moose, but I am sure it will be after Christmas before they are done. Stay tuned!

You never know where Mr Moose might appear in 2011. I think he will be my travel buddy for the year.
