I didn't want to do this post until I gave this to my sister. I made this little guy for my new little niece or nephew, and....... it's a girl. Her name is Summer and she was born on the 2/8/12, a week before Ruby is 2. She is just so cute and lovely and I really want another one now. I made this little guy a few weeks ago and he has been waiting, well everyone was really. She was 11 days late, Ruby was 12 days late, we incubate well I think.
Now I didn't follow a pattern as I couldn't find one I liked. I kind of increased and decreased and I am really happy with how he turned out. Actually I would say this has been one of my favourite projects and everyone has loved him. I might have to make one for myself now.
I took quite a few photos...

I also made this little guy, it's a rattle.
They look sweet together.
They have a very special person to make happy.

Thanks Emma
My friend came across your giraffe and fell in love with it. She's asked me to make one for her to give to her oldest daughter, who is expecting their first child. Is there any way I could sweet talk you into emailing me your pattern? Even if it's just a rough one - I'm an experienced crocheter. Just don't have a whole lot of time to design one for myself (will, if I have to). I promise not to sell it or claim it as my own. She just really loves your version!

I would love this pattern too.
ReplyDeleteIt is really awesome, great work!! I can't wait to get the pattern! thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm loving this giraffe!! Is there anyway that I could purchase one just like this from you? I'm looking for late Feb......don't know if this is an option as I'm not a crocheter. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely pattern, I've just made one! If you'd like to see it then it's on my blog. Thanks again, Chris of UK City Crafter
