Iona chihuahua, or I.Chihuahua for short, was made for my special knitting friend Mandie :-)
She longs to own her own chihuahua but alas, she has a family and her knitting habit to pay for and so she has to wait for her chihuahua.
And here she is:
She is fabulous and knitted in Lily sugar n cream cotton - the pink rose petal scented one.
She was knit completely in the round (how I survived that, I'll never know) so there are no seams. I used a toy nose and toy safety eyes on a white circle of felt. If you choose to use the felt to add more character, do be careful not to cut the circles too big like I did at first or you will be knitting high-as-a-kite chihuahua and nobody wants one of those.
Here she is practising another pose to show off her tail:
And a head shot:
She is beautiful and much loved. And will likely never have any siblings. Unless I grow another hand or maybe a couple of extra fingers and a whole lot more patience......
