Ringo loves Platy.


I knit this pretty purple platypus as an ode to the squeaky, stinky platys of my youth. I never dreamed that Ringo would like her best of all. She is knit in soft wool and filled with wool roving in a variety of unattractive colours that were best used out of sight. Her eyes are vintage buttons from my Granny's button box. I haven't caught Ringo carrying Platy around ( though she sometimes has suspicious slobber marks...) but he loves to sleep with her.
If you want to knit your own Platy you can find a pattern here. I wonder if Ringo loves wombats too?

Awww, how cute! And Ringo curls up like my Gracie...they must like the smell of their own feet.
