my adventures with Olivia the pig.

This past week, my neighbor Isabella had her 6th birthday party. I wanted to make her something special because we are such good friends. Isabella loves the Olivia books, so I got her the new the new book called Olivia Goes to Venice. I wanted to knit something to go with it, but I couldn't decide what. Then my mom had the idea to make a knitted Olivia doll. In the books Olivia almost always wear a red and white striped jumpsuit, so I got red, white, and pink yarn and went home to knit. I had never knit a toy of any sort before and they take a lot of work, I only had three days to make this one in order to give it to her at her party. I was under a pretty tight deadline, but I still managed to get it done. As soon as I finished it I took some pictures so the everybody could see. Oh my gosh, this thing was adorable. I gave it to Bella at her party and she loved it. Her mom told be she fell asleep with it that night! Pictures below.
