I have started to crochet a kangaroo. Although its not quite finished it looks like it will be fantastic! Over Spring break I traveled up to New York and visited my grandmother who I got my crafty genes from. Although she is now predominantly a quilter, she still has a plethora of patterns, hooks, and needles that I could shuffle through and find my favorites. This kangaroo pattern is one of the oldies but true coming from a magazine back in the olden times. This toy already has devious intentions. In a few more months my friend who is currently in Australia will be welcomed back by a adorable plushy kangaroo hurtling at her head. To reflect the ruff and tumble ideas of Australia I'm going to update the pattern a little bit and leave off the cutesy flower basket and baby joey, but it will still make a great toy!
My Kangaroo is coming along admirably, in fact he is nearly finished! Yet I have run into a small problem. The crochet pattern that I am using is a photocopy from a magazine from over 20years ago; this would be perfectly fine except that it references another pattern in the magazine. A pattern I don't have. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to free hand the feet of the kangaroo without directions!
