I'm trying to add more color to my very gray January. (Loved the chair fort idea Jana!!)
So here's a very green little guy I knitted up for a little friend. It's an alligator, in case you can't tell, who seems to have some very British dental hygiene going on.
I haven't determined a way to get the teeth to not splay out like that! He's a prototype and if I can get the teeth to not do that, I'm going to offer him as a free pattern to download!
(I tucked in his teeth for this photo, but generally he has sort of a Goofy vibe happening)
So any tips on fixing the teeth would be great. I knitted them as a '
points trim' one at a time. Very time consuming and then did a little shaping with the yarn end.
Puppet was enjoyed by all and then sent home with his new friend!

So cute! Knitting is magic, its been shown/explained to me but I still find it inexplicable. Thus, smile you are a wizard!
UG! are you kidding me? that is super awesome. you should truly sell that stuff in a store. Do you have an Etsy store? You should. Way to go friend.
are you kidding? the teeth are awesome! thats fabulous!
I keep trying not to laugh.... but I LIVE in Britain.... Not my most culturally sensitive moment. ;-)
I love it! Beautiful alligator. On the teeth, what if you used white felt? They'd still be soft, but might hold up a bit more.
