I was at the junk store the other night and found this pretty pink pig.

Meet Oinky. With all of your cheers echoing in my ear I thought that she would be the perfect companion to my yarn saving budget. See, Oinky is a piggy bank - buying into all kinds of stereotypes. A pig, a bank. Go figure.

The savings is slow going with just my measly contribution. Oinky somehow sensed this and was gracious enough to agree to a placard for her delicate back.

(We’re totally not against whoring out the pig in the name of yarn)

Let’s not forget the other side…

Now who in their right mind could resist a plea like that? The cats and dogs have all been given pep talks. I expect that Oinky’s large pink body will be filled in no time!
