giant stuffed carrot

[kcrobin]

I knit and felted the body of the carrot as well as the light green leafs on top. The darker green leaves are acrylic felt that i embroidered and the brownish leaf is cotton material. I attached the leaves on the body and used an old t-shirt to make the knobby top of the carrot as well as the roots. I finished off with a little embroidering on the body of the carrot and chocked it full of poly-fil. this is my very first venture into embroidery, stuffed  softy things and crafster. It stands over 5 feet tall. Hope you like it and I'd love some feedback!

[CrazyCristyC]

That's so impressive!  I'm a little scared to know but... why the gigantic carrot?

Umm. I guess I thought it would be funny. hah. I'm vegan. I love me some vegetables.

[HHjamie]

Oh my gosh, thats just great!

[cinnamon teal]

I absolutely love this!  How long did it take you to make it?

[kcrobin]

I absolutely love this!  How long did it take you to make it?

well it was a very off and on project. more off than on really. so i stretched it out over a few months. but all in all probably about 25-30 hours.

[Aliped]

Yay!  Its a gigantic carrot!!

Over 5 feet long - wow! Fun!

I notice you don't have an Avatar - I think you should use this picture.  Its a very iconic vegetable.

Its very cool - I totally want one - Nicely done

[schnerby]

Awesome project!

The little roots at the bottom are a little off putting for me. Apart from that I love this!!

[Ninja_Poo]

That is brilliant! It makes me smile - partially because it's adorable and partially because it makes me think of Corporal Carrot from Discworld 

[InkStainedHands]

This carrot rocks!   I love the combination of so many different materials, and the little roots at the bottom make it so much cooler. It looks so adorable in its carroty way, and so huggable too, especially since it's five feet long!

[highplaces]

wow this is awesome! Vegetables make good inspiration!  Is it really over 5 feet tall? It doesn't look that big in the picture.. unless that chair is huge.. lol I'm 5 feet tall so I'm imagining myself sitting in that chair. 

[aladine]

hehehe thats probably the coolest stuffed being ive seen in a long time. i love those leaves and the roots,
great job!
also, yay for being vegan  (im vegan too!)

[grendelsmom]

[Motherfungus]

the leaves on top are hanging over the other side of the chair. : )

[crocodisle]

Gahh so cool!

[Hollistercobabe]

ahhhhhh! Attack of the giant carrot. lol This is so fun looking

[jodinan]

so basically, you made a stuffed carrot that is taller than me.  thats amazing...

[kaishabackwards]

That is so cool!  I wish I had a giant carrot!  *wists*

[Jenicat]

I love it!  And it's felted?!?  Well, I know it is - I can tell from the photo and you already said it was, but... wow.  How big was it BEFORE you felted it?

[rebeldaisy]

I love the variety of the leafs.  It's really unique and the size is great as well.

[KrisCreates]

Um, I don't mean to sound rude, but why on earth did you make a 5 foot long crocheted felted carrot!?!?  When i saw the thumbnail I thought, well thats either a very small chair, or a very large carrot...

 Its very beautiful, I like the different fabrics for the leafy top!

[Sinjah]

This is so awesome! I looove stuffed vegetables, especially carrots (when I was a kid I had a ton of stuffed vegetables, they were the best thing ever)! I love its hugeness, and its leaves and everything! It's great!!

[CamillaDog]

FABULOUS!!!

[louisiana1966]

That is just the coolest thing ever!I would have loved a giant carrot when I was a child!I would love one,now,actually!Don't know where I'ld put it,but..Really fantastic!

[tiltcreations]

Who woulda thought a carrot could be so cute!
On a the same chair I have in my family room (well, minus the giant veggie...probably has crumbs tho')

[blue-eyed-red-veined]

Friggin' awesome!  I should have one in my house!

[Starcee]

That's very cute and realistic... Makes me want to munch on some carrots.

[eyevah]

I have met carrot!  Carrot is very friendly and bike rides (if Carrot has a little support around the greenies) and sitting in coffee shops, and hanging out on Bauhaus-style furniture.  I verify the fact that Carrot is 5 feet long + a little.

Love you, Carrot. we'll get together and do some stitching VERY soon.

If my bunny rabbit saw this she would be excited to the point of heart failure.

I am pretty excited myself, and am not even a rabbit.

[I Sew Cute]

This is wonderful! Aw heck, it rocks!

[sonjabegonia]

I love it!  Actually, I really like it when things are out of proportion -- either way too large or miniatures.  I'm very impressed that it's felted too.  Wow!!

[Dai-chan]

The detail is cool.

I really want to knit some veggies for my vegetarian boyfriend,  ooooh sounds like a good xmas project.
