I dunno about you but my Hippo is so social. Everywhere she goes she's the center of attention. Pool parties, barbeques, safari tours - you name it, she rocks it. Well, she's so fabulous that she's caught the eye of a few friend who followed us home one day and I can't seem to make him leave.
| "hey." |
I cannot deny that he is adorable in every way right down to his spots and his fabulous mane. This guy's got personality and I can see why Hippo likes him so much. He's a pretty chill dude and has easily won the heart of a certain Mrs. TenTen. I cannot deny that him and hippo are ruling the nest around here. They're pretty inseparable. |
You could say they go together like peas and carrots or wine at knit group.
Pattern: Giraffe from Itty Bitty Toys

PS: If you don't have the Itty Bitty Toys book - run, don't walk, to your nearest LYS and get it. Seriously, I'm not done yet! So many more knitted toys to come!
They are both so adorable!
