H is for Hippo

I finished the example hippo in time for Judi’s birthday (back in August). She’s pretty awesome and she loves Hippopotamuses, so I made her a pattern. But since she doesn’t knit, I sent her the example Hippo instead. He’s made with bulky merino from Morehouse Farm – an excellent tie-in to our Mindful Fiber this month. <--Spoiler! The pattern is available on Ravelry and Etsy*.

Happy Birthday, Judi! You make my life grand.

*What are y’all’s views about having the patterns in the same Etsy shop with the toys? Is that weird to you? Should I make a separate pattern shop now that I’ve got a bunch of them?
