I’ve been knitting more than hats… I finished Helena but forgot to take a picture before giving it to my neighbor. Gotta get that back so I can show you.
When I saw this video of Sandy’s (Sandy’sKnitting), I cracked up. What a hoot. I immediately Googled “knit hippo” and found this pattern and cast on. She’s a quickie folks.
I named her “Joy” and stuck her in the mail to Sandy. It was perfect timing as Sandy had just had to say goodbye to her sweet little Fig. I’m so glad that I didn’t hesitate and just got it done. Sandy makes me smile lots with her blog. It was nice to return the favor.
I thought Sandy flew the coop but she’s having blog woes. Her post about Joy can be found here. Love the picture of her tail. lol.
Joy is just adorable and your timing was perfect.

Too darned cute! Did you read the George and Martha books to your boys?

That might be the cutest little knit gift I’ve ever seen!
Oh How Funny! That hippo is adorable and you’re a Sweetie!!!
He’s so cute!
What a hoot! Both of you…..Sandy’s video and your little knitted toy…I LOVE it!
Hmm> I did not see this post. Joy will live with honor in my home forever. She came at just the most perfect time. I still get all warm thinking about it!
Thanks again, My Friend!
