craftyhunnypie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well I sat watching X factor & crocheting the flat circle - for the body of the birdie. However, I thought I knew how to do it & didn't folow the pattern. I now have a wonky cirlcle that looks more like a flower, because I have been going round doing 2 half trebbles in every stitch. I should have done....1, 1, 2. Oops! I have folded in half & I think I can salvage it into a very 'U' shaped birdie. I shall do a proper one after I've ate my bowl of stew. Serves me right for being a showy off know it all! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 my first attempt, as a new crocheter i find shaping hard so the circle wasn't flat bit U shaped like Emmas lol . The wings are too big as the bird was smaller and a big dodgy shape too oops and the colours were what i had lying around lol like the flowers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 lol thanks he is actually the nearly extinct 'Scooped backed Tango bird' Yeah I think I've seen those about, quite common round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have one made, but my wings are dodgy! Perhaps I could cut shapes from felt instead? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) maybe it's been rough handled and it's wing got damaged?? like the key with wings in harry potter??? I have a birdie hospital here *big fat lie* ... :lol: I love those ickle birds so much. I fear though if I show my mum that pattern she might spontaneously combust. she only does squares Edited November 3, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 i had terrible trouble with the wings, the robin will be the next try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 There must be an easier way to crochet a teardrop shape. Anyone? I've started on a robin too - no wings needed there - phew! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 i think i will go to youtube for the flat circle as i find it easier to follow video rather than written down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
