Introducing, Peanut Junior! He's from the new Last Minute Patchwork book that I bought recently, and he was *fun* to make. If you find it fun to struggle with a tricky pattern and instructions that clearly make less sense than Bush's second term... Jamie thankfully was the most help at figuring out what was what and we did some improvising to get around the pattern woes. We figured the fabrics were gender-neutral (flowers - but wait, they're blue!!). We also modified Peanut JR a little bit from the original pattern so that he would be safe for little PJs - we skipped the woolly tail and used stitched-on fabric eyes that should withstand a baby's mighty grip. His nose looks great for nibbling!
Next up, I'm knitting a cream-coloured blanket for PJs and I will have to drum up another short-term project. You always need at least one longer term and one shorter term project, I heard!

Love Peanut Junior (PJ)! We should make a whole line of animals like this. Once you get the patterns worked out you could create anything you wanted!
How hard would it be to create maybe a horse/pig/alligator? I'm sure we could do it with a little bit of work!
Good idea Jam! I think adapting the pattern to a piglet would be a cinch and we could make all sorts of four-legged baby animals - a menagerie, even!
