Pond Friends Stacking Toy
Kristina is having another baby girl, a sister for Zoe, due this fall! I wan't up for another Alphabet blanket, and was looking for a project that would be fun and fairly quick. I discovered this pattern on Ravelry and knew it would be a fun project. (Also available here) I have not done many crochet projects, but when I searched for knit rings toys, I didn't really like what I found. This pattern was mostly single chains with increases and decreases, so I thought it was worth a try!
I loved giving each creature their personality. As you can see there is the Turtle (Base) Bumble Bee, Fish (I added him at the end because my turtle's neck was too long) Lady Bug, and Dragon Fly (my personal favorite). I made a few modifications on the wings of both the bee and dragon fly, but besides that I stuck pretty much to the pattern ~ imagine that!
Last week we had an informal get together where we gave a few small baby-shower gifts to Kristina (hence the rushed and fairly poor pictures of this project). I knew she would love the gift, but little did I know how funny it would be. We all had a fit of the giggles! What great memories
