Single hen

[quickcluck]

Hi guys.

 

Found this link on here somewhere hidden. But think it's sooooooooooooooooooo fab thought I would bring it to EVERYONES attentions.

 

I have ordered a few and the lovely lady has asked for a pic of my Amber so that so can personalise her for me!! How brill is that!

 

They are going to be stocking fillers for the kids who have each adopted a hen, so now they can have an indoor one the same

Aww, cute. They look quite easy to make though!

[jess]

oh my GOSH these are so CUTE!

[bellekatz]

My best friend at work has knitted one of these for me - it is small but sits proudly on my desk - they are so cute!!!

I have just tried to order some but it says they don't deliver in my area - Cheshire - has anyone else had experience of this or is ti a problem with the website??

It must be a problem with the website Ali - I have a Folksy shop, it is still in the Beta stages so some glitches do still pop up. I'd contact the seller direct.

Is anyone clever enough to come up with a pattern for these

Im sure they would be easy enough to make but making up a pattern is way out of my league.

Thanks, Snowy - have looked up on that google thing but can't find it - will have a rethink!

Angelina who makes them is very accommodating. She has said she will make me a cuckoo Silkie (Muggle is DD's favourite). That will go in DD's Christmas stocking. (Apologies for mentioning the C word away from the special thread).

Have contacted her directly and she was delighted to have such a big order (ie6 hens)....have warned her she may be getting rather more - should we put this site onto the Chrstmas thread? DOn't know how to do it but all in favour of little craft businesses being given a boost..

[katieandnick]

How do you contact her directly? I've got a big order too, and the website won't let me use the check out till I've been registered , and nothing's happened there either! Has anyone got an email address for her?

I have a pattern winging it's way to me very soon.....I have just bought a book called the knitted farmyard which has some lovely patterns for chickens and cockerels in it. I should think they are easy to knit it is just a case of using different wools to make them look like our hens, I shall post again when the book arrives and I have managed to make one or two.......

katieandnick, she is called Angelina Scanlan and her email is littletweedhens@hotmail.com.

[quickcluck]

thought I would post an update as my hens have arrived

 

They are BRILL, their cute factor is massive man!!

 

Each has come in a bag with a label, and as I had sent her photos she even put their names on the labels!

 

I can't rave about this enough!!!

[TheGirlsMum]

Wo hoo Nicola look forward to how you get on with the pattern

Hi ladies,

 

I'm new to Omlet, but having been egg'd on (excuse the pun) by Hazel, Kay, Clare, Alison and Nick (my first customers - thank you from the bottom of my heart!) I thought I'd best join in the fun here!

 

I thought I'd pop in and say hi - my name is Angelina (Gini for short) and I make the lavender hens that are selling on Folksy. I'll apologise here for any problems you've had ordering through Folksy, its a bit rubbish, but its only a hobby so I can't complain about the service!

 

Anyway, I'm the proud owner of a (new) purple eglu and four beautiful hens, Daisy, Dotty, Petal and Poppy. I'm looking forward to meeting new people here and swapping stories about our girls.

 

Thanks again to all who have already welcomed me,

 

Speak soon,

Welcome Gini - great names for your hens ( the live ones). Am looking forward to my non-live ones arriving this week. This site is addicitive - my husband calls it my "facebook for adults"...not sure that's a compliment but hey....

[quickcluck]

have you posted pics of your chooks yet????

 

You will love it on here, and hopefully get lots more orders!!!

 

You will soon if not already be as addicted to this side as the rest of us!
