Just finished it enjoyed knitting, took quite a lot of stuffing.
Elizabeth (verified owner) –
Would have liked it to be a little bigger but I am sure the group of children it is going to will enjoy it. It is given to a child when in a circle and the child holding it is the only one who can talk. It works.
Valerie (verified owner) –
Fab, fab, just simply fab.
