A member at C'Ville here asked me if I had made a pig. (not sure if she wants me to use her name

) I told her no, but I could. This is what I came up with.
She has asked me to share it with everyone.

(it hasnt been tested..)
Do not sell this pattern!!

Enjoy!!

THATS GREAT!!! My sister collects pigs, so I'll make this for her. Have you made a non-cute elephant? My husband would love an elephant that looks like it's charging! (Hint, hint???)
