Star of the Week - Ogres, Dogs and Ducks!

  Our second 'Star of the Week' Award is another joint one - but this time it's a rather different award as it goes to... a cuddly green ogre and a dog who live on opposite sides of the world!Jeffy Green (a cute and cuddly toy ogre who runs Will Knit for Syrup) found out about the Little Yellow Duck Project last year and decided to knit some ducks to leave around the area he lives in the UK.  One of his Facebook friends - an Australian dog called Devo - saw photos of the ducks and asked Jeff if he could knit him some to take on his around-the-world trip later in the year.Now Devo isn't just an ordinary dog.  Oh no. Devo is an assistance dog with a love of travel who has now accompanied his Mum on her worldwide travels to multiple countries on planes, trains, trucks, cars, buses and ships, making friends all over the world as he goes. Not only this, but Devo is also a published author!So Jeff made 16 ducks and off they went on to Australia to begin their adventure...Incredibly, in just 8 weeks, Devo managed to get LYDP ducks into 6 different continents and a whole list of countries including Chile, Singapore, USA, Canada, Germany and a British Science Base in Antarctica! He even managed to leave a duck on both Easter Island and Christmas Island (well you couldn't have one without the other could you?) and to achieve a quick stop-off in the UK for a visit to his good friend Jeff to thank him for all his knitting.One 'Jeff duck' even managed to notch up a grand total of 87,000 km (55,000 miles) after returning to Australia to be placed back where he left off. Is this the most well travelled duck ever?!A huge thank you to Jeff, Devo (and their Mums) who helped make this happen!  Enjoy being our Stars of the Week!
