PIGGYS!

"Pigs and Piglet" pattern from Debbie Bliss' book "Toy Knits"...A pattern I truly love. I did the Pig first it only took me a few days. It turned out to be ALOT bigger then I expected it to be though (it look an entire 250g bag of stuffing to fill and it could have used a bit more!). The piglet can easily be done in an afternoon. I'm going to be making the little piglets lots I think. They would be a perfect gift for new babies and a quirky gift for friends.

                                     

I got my first compliment from a friend on my knitting the other day thanks to these little piggys. We had one of my former coworkers and her boyfriend around for dinner (cough....take away pizza because I don't cook) and she said "oh, I like your pigs" when I casually told her I had made the small one in an afternoon she was very impressed. She hadn't realised I had made them myself. A few days later I saw another woman from where I used to work and was told "Kirsty was VERY impressed by your pigs...we heard all about them" (...blush...)
