All Wrapped Up - With Love

Lambie is done! She's actually been done for a few days but I'm just now getting back to the computer to post it. It took me two and a half days to make the lamb.... because I crocheted for about 5-7 hours a day! Yeahhhhhh.... I have a problem ... maybe there's a help group?! haha! 
Picture
My little one loves it... and started playing with it long before I was finished with it! My favorite moment was when the lamb was all done except the eyes. I was rooting through my odds and ends to find some suitable black yarn... when daughter walks in with Lambie. She was wobbling it around, bouncing it off furniture, and shouting "I can't see! I have no eyes! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

I thoroughly enjoyed this little break from my own designs. I didn't have to think! It was really fun to just follow the directions and BAM super cute toy! Plus daughter was so happy that I was making her something for once! ;) She even helped stuff the arms! 

I know I raved about this pattern before I even made it... and that was just based on the cuteness of the toy! But now I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is a great toy to make. The directions are very thorough and with beautiful instructional photos throughout. I think the pattern cost a little over $6 once converted from euros to dollars. So worth it to me! If you have a special little one this is a great pick.

Lambie is very social and already making lots of new friends... here's one now:

Yes, Lambie is already a very special part of the family and is found throughout the house - she's lounging on my bed at this very moment. Daughter carries her around everywhere and Lambie hasn't missed being the bedtime favorite yet! I say that is a success!

Hi, beautifully crafted lamb. I am wondering what is the size of this lamb? :)

Thank you! The pattern called for fingering weight yarn and I used worsted weight yarn - so mine is larger than the pattern states.

Mine turned out approx. 21" tall.

Here's a link to the terrific pattern if you are interested: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lalylala-lupo-the-lamb
