One armed Elmo

Well I had a ton of red left over in my stash from Aiden's spider man blanket so I figured I would make an Elmo for Emmy. Found an adorable free pattern on ravelry and got to work. Building and stuffing as I go.. Well I get to the last arm and masks it half way through before I run out. Elmo turned out much bigger than I anticipated and this was yarn from lay year so I can't find the same lot number. Awesome, right? She was a little scared of her armless Elmo, but after he had one finished arm she didn't seem to care that he was one short. I figure I won't sweat it if she doesn't. :-)  Gotta hate when you try to use the stash and fall short...

Update: I found more yarn and while it isn't exactly the same lot number its so close you can't tell. :-)  Elmo is complete thank goodness.
