Notes

30/3/12 - the bits are done, just need to seam them together…

28/3/12 - well I have a tubby body, a head and an arm… I’m using a very pale grey for the contrast, looks sharp… may do some kind of embroidery on the tummy and one of the feet…

20/3/12 - did you know the Swahili name for Hippo is Kiboko? How fun is that?!

19/3/12 - setting this up for the swap… this is also the june 2012 project for the Itty Bitty Toy KAL but I know I’ll be knitting this toy again for the KAL because my dd has been begging for this toy for years…
