My friend Emily made this super cute toy for baby Olive…
I love the color variation throughout and the sweet little felt ears with exposed stitching…
The braided yarn tail is another great detail. I feel so lucky to have so many thoughtful friends. Olive, be sure to pick up a craft. It may bring you closer to a variety of people. In April, just before you came I knit with a 91 year old lady who was a pleasure to meet. A retired nurse and a remarkable lady, great big smile with a light in her eyes that I hope to have if I’m fortunate to live to see the 90s. If it wasn’t for knitting, I may have never met this sweet, inspirational lady, among other close friends I’ve found.
I recently posted pics of Olive’s sweater before I washed it to relax the stitching. Here are a couple pics after blocking it.
Finished just in time for the next heatwave…
Oh well, it’s stretchy…should still fit when it finally gets cooler.
