We were lucky enough to be invited and we were all so excited! I started hatching plans (pun intended) for knitted gifts. I'm really really into Susan B. Anderson's book Itty-bitty Toys - I particularly love her chapter on reversible toys.
But what do you knit for a one year old who is having a ducky themed party?
Why, an egg of course!
But this isn't just any old egg. This egg is just about to hatch. Can you see the cracks?
This wonderful pattern from Itty-Bitty Toys usually has a little blue bird inside of the egg, waiting to hatch. But I wanted to stick to the party's duck theme, so I made a little modification to turn the little blue bird into a duckling. As usual, it was down to the wire in terms of completing the gift and I was crocheting in the car on the way to the party. You'll be pleased to hear that my husband was driving!
Oh my word. This is SO CUTE. I love it. My daughter would be all over that egg and duckling.
