Stupid Mater.

I'm working on a new pattern.  We're going to my cousin's son's 9th birthday party on Saturday and it's a Cars theme.  So I thought I'd make him a Mater hat.

Only he doesn't look quite right to me so far...



He looks like a goofy potato or something. 

I compared yarn to pictures and my rust-colored yarn was far more rustier-colored than the pictures.  But this brown screams potato to me. 

I think I need to make his mouth 3D.  It just doesn't look right.  And different teeth.  Those are just a mess.

I'll work on him some more tomorrow night.

I'm pretty excited about my planned earflaps, though.  They're going to be tires.  *snicker*
