Patricia is the winner.
I recently shared a story about Louise Walker, a British knitter who has turned knitting faux taxidermy animals into a booming business, and it just happens that I found my copy of her book, Faux Taxidermy Knits, in my donate pile so I thought it was the right time to do a giveaway.
The book is a lot of fun, with both wearable projects and home decor inspired by animals. Check out all the projects on Raverly.
I have a friend who covets the wolf headdress, and I have to say it is pretty amazing.
If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Sept. 11. I’d love to know what your favorite wild animal is, if you can narrow it down to just one (I’ve always been partial to cheetahs, but I’m not sure I’d want to knit cheetah print!).
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

I would have to say my favorite wild animal is a leopard. That should be easier then a Cheetah. LOL
With my grandchildren in the south (read that as hot climate) my usual gifts of hats, scarfs and mittens are no longer wanted or needed. Your book of Fayx Taxiderny Knits could give me a way to still gift with knitted items.
I’ve already made an anatomically correct shark hat as well as an anaconda hat scarf in crochet. Guess I’m obsessed with animal weirdness and also new to knitting. please help me move beyond scarves and dishcloths (yawn).
My favorite wild animal is a deer. But I have to say I want to make that fox it’s so cool and winter is right around the corner.
The Balkan lynx is a beautiful wild cat. The wildebeest is also fascinating. I learned they can run up to 50 mph. Who knew? 🙂
Most likely my favorite is the Moon Bear…………..but all things ursine are good!

My favourite wild animal is the fox and I would make the scarf on the cover!!!
I just love those hedgehog slippers!!! They look so happy that I think I would smile every time I looked at my feet.
I wonder if my husband would notice if I knit something from this book and hung it up with his other deer heads in the house??
I’m not sure what my favorite wild animal is, maybe some kind of fish!
I love so many animals — the tiger rug in the book looks like lot of fun!!
Love to knit unique unusual projects. Smile thinking of how
delighted a child would be to receive an animal themed item.
The Panda Bear would be one of my favorite wild animal.
My favorite wild animal is the wolverine!
the theme for our county fair next year is “party with the animals” this would be perfect!
I love squirrels, they are so cute!
Love! My favorite wild animal is a sea turtle. I also love arctic foxes.
How cute!!! the fox scarf would make a wonderful gift for my grandchildren. I feel just positive my husband would tell them some outrageous story about how he found a fox skin. they would then want to find more!!!!
My favorite wild animal is the bobcat.
My favorite wild animal is the cougar.
I love this book… My favorite local wild animals are deer, squirrels & rabbits (all wild in my yard). Favorites that I don’t see in my yard have to be elephants & tigers.
I have always loved the playfulness of spider monkeys.
I’m partial to the whole cat family, but leopards are my most favorite. I’ve already knit leopard print and it’s not so bad! Cheetah should be easier 😛
My favorite wild animal is a black panther!
Hippos and bears, just love them both
I love elephants. How cute would one look as a scarf?
I like fox 😉
Thanks for the chance to win.
I love deer
I love wolves.
I have I have a collection of hippos but that badger is pretty fun too! You’re right, lots of great projects in this book
I love wolves but think foxes are a very close 2nd.
My favorite wild animal is a wolf.
The moose looks like a challenge and a good laugh! Thanks!
I’m quite partial to hedgehogs. I can imagine an adorable knitted hedgehog hat.
My favourite wild animal is the otter!
My S’n’B group is planning an animal theme for our fair entries next year!
We have many critters in our woods. I would have to choose between the little fox I see from time to time or the white tail deer or the cute little black squirrels or the wild turkeys or the family of rabbits that live here too! Tough choice but I would have to go with the little black squirrels.
My favorite wild critters are Squirrels and Crows. I feed them both in my backyard, but haven’t thought of knitting their likeness before!
I love bears, grizzly, black, polar, panda, koala, they’re all just so cute.
My aunt had a real fox stole – I’d love to be able to make a faux version!
In the U K my favourite animal is the Hedgehog and overseas the Tiger sadly both are endangered due to various human activities.What a great idea knitted taxidermy .
I love pink flamingos, but that fox is pretty darn cute!
Pandas! I knitted a panda hat for my daughter last winter and a matching one for her doll ????
That would be so cute. It would make great giveaways for any occasions.
