It’s a what?

Last fall, my internet shy neighbor wanted to learn how to knit. I got her started on a basic swatch before setting her on an official project, so she could get comfortable with both the knit and purl stitches, as well as alternating between the two. By the time she was done, she had a swatch about 6 inches square which was perfect for one of those cute bunnies knit from a square. So we started sewing. We soon realized that what we had in front of us didn’t really look like a bunny, it sort of resembled…… an armadillo.

My internet shy friend printed up pictures of armadillos so we could fashion the tail and ears accordingly. And the result?

Cool, no?

Want to know what else is cool?

THERE’S ONLY ONE!!!! I’m very very happy. We got to see the little one wiggling around, and moving appendages this morning. Quite exciting. Veronica was there, and thought it was pretty cool. They put the baby at 10 weeks, which is much further than I thought, so I’m going to talk to the doctor about it on Wednesday.
