A few months ago Clarkson and I made some cuddly beasts.

Mine is the larger and more disturbing of the two, Clarkson’s is the smaller and more obviously happy looking. It was a very easy process to create them. In fact I can’t understand why more of these odd looking animals are not made since they are much better than the creatures commercially available and infinitely more unique. I even learnt how to do a spot of knitting to create a scarf to hide the unfortunate paunch that my beast seemed to take on after being stuffed.

If there is any downside it is that mine bares more than a passing resemblence to the “C’MON” creatures that appeared in recent Vauxhall Corsa adverts. I think its the mouth that does it.
