Toy Giraffe?
Let me start by saying that I have no spatial reasoning. I have a creative mind, and a lot of creative thoughts, but my mind lacks that part that allows you to imagine space. I can't look at a taken apart anything and imagine how it goes, I can't look at an empty gutted house and see how it will look in my mind with walls. I have no sense of measurements and what they mean. With that said, I came across a pattern for a bunch of different animals to crochet while looking for late-night projects and decided it would be kind of cool to challenge myself and give one a try. I picked this cute giraffe and thought, what a cute little toy for the new little baby. I got my yarn, and started crocheting. After like only 3 sleepless nights I had all the pieces done and it was time to assemble. I started sewing together all my giraffe parts, and before I knew it I was holding a 2 foot giraffe...not quite the little toy I was imagining...but cute non the less. I looked at the measurements beforehand that's the funny part, but they meant nothing to me...and I ended up with a 2 foot giraffe nursery decoration instead of a toy. Nonetheless I was pretty impressed with myself!
