Sincerely Louise - SYC - Jennifer the Giraffe!

Our fourth scarp yarn challenge featured a hank of Sweet Georgia in a gorgeous pink and half a ball of slightly sparkly DK yarn. I’d had the hank in my stash for two years, so needed to design a really special pattern with it. Our favourite suggestion was from Jennifer, who said it should be made into a giraffe in honour of April the giraffe, who was expecting her calf at the time.
