I am a bit dramatic for this early in the week, but I think you will be revolutionised into action when you see this absolutely adorable carrot pattern from Lionbrand Yarns.
I used Elle Courtelle 4-ply 098 Citrus and Elle Family Knit Olive. The Courtelle is a plain acrylic yarn, but it feels really soft and squishy. The pattern is perfect for a baby shower lastminute gift and works up very quickly.
You can just stuff it and be done with it or you can buy a little bell or a small cheap plastic rattle and insert it into the carrot before closing up and adding the leaves. I find that the plastic rattle's sound is much better than the little bell.
This one has two leaves, but I have made another one with four leaves. Add as many as you like!

Only kind of carrot I like!
Congratulations with your first blog entry. It's awesome.
Love the carrot, so sweet. Maybe stick a bell in it for a puppy toy or a baby rattle?
;-) @Rugbymad - I already did that! The carrot on the blog has a bell in it. And my new carrot ready for sale has a baby rattle in it. But a puppy or cat toy is also a good idea. Not for my dogs, though. It will take them 2 seconds to destroy my hard work!
Ria - Just happy to help you overcome your aversion to carrots!
