      P.S. I have tried many times to contact you by phone about buying extra yarn. But you seem unavailable!

      I am one ball of the grey short. Please advise where I can buy more? The body took almost 2 balls. I need to finish the head and the snout!
      Thank you 😊

        Kate, I’m not sure why you are contacting me - perhaps you are trying to contact customer services at Love Knitting.My hippo took very little yarn to knit, less than 50g of DK.

        Maureen, I no longer have the pattern. I deleted the photographs of it and passed the original to Elaine. Perhaps you could contact Let’s Knit magazine and see if they can help.

      With regards to my last comment, I did not mean to sound too harsh but maybe those who need or have lost the pattern should contact Let’s Knit magazine as Jades’ Gran did.

      I have noticed with some concern that , apart from Elaine, the people who have requested and been sent the pattern for Lola have no projects posted. I am not going to send patterns to anyone who is not a contributor to this community. Sorry.

      Hi Hazel, Like Catherine, I bought Lola the Dancing Hippo without realising that there were no instructions inside (it didn't come attached to a magazine). I would really appreciate it if you could email the pattern to me at rosella_kaye@yahoo.com Thank you so much! Kaye

        I'd have to find the leaflet and send it; my printer is dead so I can't email it. I tried the Let's Knit site but it's not up there yet.
