Knit Buddy Giveaway - Hobby Horse

This delightful project is one of many I want to make from Knitted Gifts.

Besides being such a cute little Hobby Horse, it is a lesson on the structure of hand-knit socks. A perfect project for someone who has been thinking of knitting socks. Just look at the un-felted version of the over-sized sock.

After just a bit of felting and some finishing, the sock magically transforms into a toy!

Even though several weeks passed between when I started this project and finishing, it is actually a very quick knit.

Wouldn't you just love to knit this horse!! This giveaway will include Ann Budd's book and the Wool of the Andes yarn you will need in the colors of your choice. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog. I will draw a name next Friday - March 5th.

Comment by Sunshine on March 2, 2010 at 4:47pm: I almost bought that book when I saw the horse on the front, but held off because I don't have children (yet!). My toy horse was my favorite toy as a child, and then real horses became my favorite!!!

Comment by Allison Watkinson on March 2, 2010 at 12:18pm: This is just too cute. Which one of my grandson's would I give it to, if I win the giveaway? And the book for me would be just perfect so I can knit lots of gifts for my growing family!
