Our granddaughter, Sydney is a figure skater. She is ten years old and has already exceeded the top of her classes in the same age group, she is currently training with the advance group, the teens group. All her teacher has mentioned she has such talents and will go far in figure skating. She makes grandpa and grandma very proud. I can foresee she will join the Olympic in the future and represents our country.
Her favourite spirit animal is the giraffe. She has a little stuffie giraffe that she carries around in her backpack to all her practices. She claims that was her lucky giraffe which gave her many number one in her competitions. Then one day, someone has stolen the giraffe off her backpack and put her in misery. She is very sad and looking for a replacement. I’ve decided to make her one out of yarn. Meet Gigi, the giraffe from Grandma Lala!
Gigi stands about 12 inches tall, The base pattern is from a pattern book, but I have altered some of the stitches and gave her some hair and eyelashes, and spots. I used 100% acrylic yarn with a 3.50mm hook for this one. Gigi is also washable, but preferred to be hand wash and air dry. This one took me approx. 10 hours to complete. I put the number 1 pool ball beside her while taking the picture to wish her number 1 in all her competitions.
Sydney and her parents lives in Vernon which is a beautiful little town in British Columbia, Canada. We have to drop Gigi off to her and play her a visits in the Summer last year. It was a great trip. She loves it so much and place on her bed to sleep with her at night. In the morning, once she has made her bed, she will put Gigi right by the pillows. Unfortunately, Gigi is too bit to put in her backpack to take it with her to practice. She said, “she doesn’t want this one to be stolen again and it’s safer to keep Gigi at home”. She is so cute and we love her very much. That is the story how Gigi was born. See you next post!
