I've not quite finished the hippo, but fingers crossed I'll be able to post photos next week. It's been so quick and easy to do. I just need to finish the ears (which have about 5 stiches each) and then stick it all together. I find it so much easier to put a project together when it's the same colour, as my sewing can be untidy and it always seems so much neater when I'm only using one colour. I will just need to find a pretty bit of ribbon to put round the hippo's neck and it'll be complete.
It was my birthday this week and I received quite a few "crafty" presents! A lovely friend gave me a book of Knitted Icons. There is a fabulous Albert Einstein which I have my eye on and I'm going to attempt an Audrey Hepburn for my sister. I'm not so good at sewing, so making the clothes might be a bit tricker, but I'm willing to give it a go. My Grandparents gave me a wee sewing box with a rainbow of different coloured threads, numerous needles, pins - all I could need! My Aunt sent me some lovely blue/cream wool with some knitting needles and 4 different patterns for handbags. I'm spoilt for choice on what to knit next - my only worry is making non-waterproof handbags when I live in Scotland!
