I’ll say it out oud, 2024was not my favourite year. Apart from the world going to shit, I had to deal with a lot of health problems and I don’t like that. Also work was very stressful, especially towards the end of the year. With roughly 1/3 of people being sick, the rest of us worked a lot of overtime and I just made it to the christmas break before going down as well.
But at least I got a break and got myself a gift: time to make a pattern I’ve been wanting to make for months but didn’t have the time: a baby hippo modelled on the infamous Moo Deng
The face pieces nearly drove me nuts, and I didn’t wire the legs because that cutie lives in my bed, and I’m totally in love with her.

Oh she is lovely, glad you got to make her!
I hope you, and your colleagues, have a more healthy new year so you get to enjoy your holidays properly.
OMG How totally adorable! I love her.
Adorable!
Hippo New Year two ewes two deer. That plush is so darn cute! The ears and the neck rolls are perfect. What a great pattern that gives you such chonky results, though I’m sure that head was very tricky. Ugh, so many bits to align. Look at those perfect seams.
Well done you!
