    Ripley's UK is in the process of swapping out a MINI covered in crystals for a knitted Ferrari. The MINI, featuring more than one million colored gems in 50 shades to represent the 50 different US states, is coming to the US and will reside in Ripley's Baltimore location.

    In its place is a life-size hand-knitted Ferrari which will be put on display for the first time after being delicately lifted into the attraction.

    Created by British artist Lauren Porter, the fluffy Ferrari took 10 months to make, using 12 miles of wool, 250 squares of garter stitching and a hand-embroidered prancing horse logo on the front.
