Sherry found on Etsy what I didn’t on Ravelry, and thank you, Sherry!
It’s not lace but it’s definitely a moose. Done from the vantage point of looking not quite straight on, and I want a side view, so, another three stitches’ worth separating the front legs from the back stretching that belly out, and likewise on another stitch’s worth lengthening the muzzle.
So far, that’s what I’m going with but I’m not up to there yet.
It is amazing how much faster it is to knit a 182 stitch per row afghan than a 279-stitch one.
