Notes

The Beast received a Second Place ribbon in the Toy from Commercial Pattern category at the 2013 State Fair of Texas!

Heavily modified Harold with clothes that i created without patterns. (Special thanks to user Cazimodo for giving me a great start on these!) Used larger needles for the main part and smaller needles for accessories. Middle sized needles used with knitpicks yarn used for horns. I needle-felted the face before inserting the eyes.

The Beast was going to be submitted to the State Fair of Texas, but I got so caught up in work that I totally forgot to take him on the designated date. Since he was originally created for the Rebecca Danger Fairy Tale Swap, he will soon be sent to live with SunSandDisney in Canada.

The handsome baby is the son of TheDrollEclectic!
The woman is the person who tagged him for entry in the State Fair of Texas. The Beauty in the last picture was sent to me by SunSandDisney
