Where's My Cow?

I lovingly call this little cow Elsie. This is a special garment by British designer Ann Kingstone. I made it during a KAL on Ravelry. It is being gifted to our friends Nate and Olivia Harrell for their new daughter, Ehlena.
We are going to also send along a little Webkinz cow for their first born, Brian, and a story by Terry Pratchett titled, "Where's My Cow?" to be shared with both children. Oh, and in case you didn't guess, the romper is based on the story :)

And, for any knitter out there who wants to know, the romper was knit entirely as one piece; there are no seams. The yarn is a cotton shine from Knit Picks and the colors were chosen when Daryn asked Olivia what her "colors" were going to be for the baby. The cow was applied using a Swiss darning technique and the flowers added for that extra special girl touch and splash of girlish whimsy and color.
