Knit or Go Home

For my aunt’s birthday, I knew I wanted to make her a giraffe. Problem: no matter where I searched, I just couldn’t come up with a pattern for a crochet giraffe. So it was time to improvise! While on a road trip up the west coast and back, I sat in the passenger seat during my driving breaks and created her giraffe. He had some good times peaking out at the cars beside us on I-5 and came together (after a few rip outs) very nicely.

And here he is again with my road buddy. She was mighty proud of me. (=

So my aunt adored him and it was so fun to give her something she loved so much with all that she does for me. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to replicate it, since my note taking during production hit a bump with the body - giraffes have a funny body shape and it took multiple attempts to get the shaping to work - and in the many tries, I stopped taking notes. If I ever make a written pattern, I’ll be sure to share. (=
