Aga n Chickens Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I finished another chicken cross stitch at the beginning of the week and now have 2 waiting to go to be framed (fun to do but expensive in the long run ). Having had something to do for weeks, yesterday my fingers started to twitch . Then I remembered that some time ago I started a knitting project but had put it on hold for some reason After about half an hour's rummaging in the top of the wardrope I found all the bits I'd stuffed into a bag and was ready to take stock and see what I still needed to do After 4 hours I'd completed the pattern and assembled all the parts. And here he is ........ If anyone else wants to have a go, there is a free pattern on the following link http://www.dallimore.co.uk/knitting.htm Kind regards, Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aga n Chickens Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I was beginning to worry when I started to assemble him The face mask is a little tricky. At one stage he looked a bit like one of those ninja turtles Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I love him! We have a collection of monkeys, (of varying sizes) similar to that one, but we made ours from the book, 'Knit a Square, Make a Toy'. This book: We bought our copy from WHSmith and have made several things from it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aga n Chickens Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 looking book ubereglu I often have odd bits of wool that would knit up into a square but not much else I'll have a look out and see if it's in our local WHS when I next go into Nottingham.

Aga n Chickens Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks Plum It took a couple of goes to get him to look as he should My first attempt had the dimentions all wrong and it looked as if he'd been on the 'Atkins' diet Kind regards, Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
