In her spacious pouch she keeps everyday things and her impressive collection of antique cushion springs - and of course her baby kangaroo feels most at home here. After a furious victory in the shadow boxing championship, the two prepare themselves for the world championship in long-jump.<br/><br/>Kira is approximately 10,5 inches tall. She is made out of cosy 4 ply tweed, cotton wool and love. For your little kangaroo you can use every yarn you prefer - she’s getting taller or smaller but she’s always really cute!<br/><br/>I wrote this crochet pattern for beginners too and I tried to be very detailed in my descriptions. I also included some charts to explain what to do.<br/><br/>NOTICE: The pattern is available in ENGLISH and GERMAN.</div> </blockquote>http://omniagiftboxes.tumblr.com/post/23341057053http://omniagiftboxes.tumblr.com/post/23341057053Sat, 19 May 2012 05:12:53 -0400craft<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m43cjn8R3Q1r8w6odo1_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m43cjn8R3Q1r8w6odo2_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m43cjn8R3Q1r8w6odo3_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m43cjn8R3Q1r8w6odo4_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vvvivacious.tumblr.com/post/23138240632/its-a-penguin-with-a-penguin-backpack">vvvivacious</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>It’s a penguin.
