Through the magic of the internet and Ravelry, I met a lovely person who I now consider to be my friend. "Tunie" is an expatriate who now lives in Australia. She has a very funny story about how she got her name which you can read by visiting her page on Ravelry where she goes by peacockmom. You might remember the crocodile cloth I named after her husband, Fred. In any event, Tunie asked me if I would consider doing a kangaroo. My first thought was that she had to be kidding. There were plenty of cloths already with kangaroos. I just kind of dismissed it at first, but then I was all caught up at work and thoroughly bored so I decided to play around with it. The next thing you know, here's a baby kangaroo! I kind of like him, which surprises me. I don't know why, but I just didn't think I would ever have a kangaroo in my "gallery".
I'm not so sure that I like this color combination. The bib was done in Peaches & Creme Pastel Pink and the cloth is in Dark Grape. Separately, they're cute, but together? I'm not so sure.
Before you ask, I do have a koala as well, but I did it a few years ago and never posted it. As soon as I find the chart, I promise that I'll add that as well.
Thank you so much for sharing this Elaine. I have wanted to make a blanket up of a mix of your cloths for a grandchild in the offing. And now I can add some Aussie animals to it - perfect. Needless to say I will be keeping my eye out for the koala
