5-way jointed lion

I first wrote a pattern for a lion about two years ago. I believe it was a design with a lot of potential, but I was just not up to the task. But I have learned a few things since and so I thought I would give it another try.

I want to include three ways to make the mane, so I have to make three lions. This one is just the first. It will be at least a few weeks before the pattern is ready, but I just couldn’t wait to share
