Sakila Knit

One of the things I did this weekend was knit the pattern I’d made for Sakila, the dolphin in the MySQL logo. Click on the image for a bigger picture:

The only problem is I have no idea what to do with it. I have more of the orange and blue yarn. I thought I would make it into a purse but it turned out much wider than I expected. I could make it into a big handbag but I don’t think I’d use it. Any suggestions?

The pattern itself:


dolphin: (56 sts wide by 59 rows)
When I say "k to stitch marker and remove", I mean knit to the stitch marker, and take the stitch marker off.

cast on 56 sts.
knit 2 rows

I had to tweak the pattern mid-knit, so I *think* this is the correct pattern. If the count looks OK for rows 40-56 then there's nothing to worry about. Please let me know if you try this. I used size 9 needles and Lily Sugar & Cream Yarn in orange and navy blue. As you can see in the picture above, it turns out to be over a foot wide.
