My sister's best friend gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last Friday 31st August, she was named Daisy Eva. I wanted to make something "different" to my usual cardigans and sweaters so I decided to make a toy - I had not intended on making a 1 metre high toy though!
Daisy's mum loves giraffes and I came across this pattern in amongst some patterns Carol Hocknell had given me when I bought my Passap back in June. Ginny as I have named her has knitted up beautifully and she is knitted in Uppinghams 2 ply Lambswool - so rather special! She is SO SOFT!
I also made some baby clothes too... a baby coat knitted in 4 ply acrylic and a fairisle V neck vest knitted in my own hand dyed pure wool. Will put some photos up of these in the next few days.
I just love that giraffe!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! That giraffe will certainly get a lot of big hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteWow! You made a fantastic giraffe! It will be loved for years to come.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giraffe! Any idea where I could find the pattern? My son would absolutely love to have one.
ReplyDeleteNow that's something different!!!! What a gorgeous toy and I can just imagine how soft it is. Bet it was fun wrapping it up or did you do the sensible thing and just put a bow on it :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!!
