Tavish Highland Cow
Tavish came to be because I was just so pleased with how William Goat turned out, I wanted to make a collection of friends. And who doesn't absolutely love highland cows?

Affectionately called a long dog, these little characters are hidden in the scenery like little Where's Waldo Easter egg treats. (The image below was found on the internet and is not mine.)

But that also means they get a good look at my screen while browsing around the world of crochet designs. Lately, my youngest son is very into aquatic creatures so… Continue reading Alyx the Axolotl – by Neogurumi
