Necessity is the Mother of Invention...

Over the past couple of years or so I have had to knit some pretty weird and wonderful things for this animated film.  Oddly, it's the things that sound simple that prove to be the most tricky.  It's usually not a problem doing the actual knitting, but finding ways to construct the inner shapes has been quite difficult at times.  I think in the past I have used cosmetic lids, hairspray tin, fruit punnets, salt box, shot glasses, mini flower pots, oodles of foam board and newspaper, cardboard boxes, plastic cups, the list goes on and on. Can you guess what is underneath this beer barrel?
One of these, cut, taped, stuffed and taped again.  But you knew that, didn't you....
