Nicola H Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I just had to share this with you all, she has taken me ages to knit and a whole day to make up but I think she is lovely.................. The wool is really soft fine merrino so she is very cuddly....... The pattern is by Alan Dart and is in the latest Simply Knitting mag.

Sheilaz Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well done, Nicola, wonderful knitting. I'm sure Emily likes her too, did she help with the pom pom chicks? Very cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Very so whats her name then? I am not too sure what to call her, any ideas ........... Sheila the chicks are knitted from a wool called Snowflake........It cost me a fortune for the wool because you needed so many different colours but didn't need the full ball I probably have enough wool to knit another one.............. Her legs are lovely under her skirt she is wearing bloomers.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 As a fello knitter I salute you . She's so cute. I don't get Simply Knitting often as I have so many patterns that they often duplicate similar styles to what I have already but I'll have to see if that issue is still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Going straight to the newsagents later & buying a copy of that mag! Great for knitting when I'm away in my caravan!!!!! I knitted little chicken egg cosies at Easter with loppy tals and red combs. I was planning to put a creme egg in them, but I found they sat on top of a bottle of wine much better! So they went as raffle prizes! I love anything chickeny!! Desperately saving up for an eglu cube & desperately want a Bluebell!!!!

Popcorn Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I've got my copy Nicola! I also love the little cardigan. Going to give that a go too...and the knitting bag is fab. Will look much better than my Sainsbury's carrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 That is sooooo Well done Nicola. I know if I tried it would look nothing like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Went newsagents today and no copies left. But....hubby has just come in and has bought me a copy! Yay! What a darlin'! Love the free bag, beats my erm extra large Poundland bag! Can't really knit fluffy scarves in Spring, so chickens are just what I need!

Will look much better than my Sainsbury's carrier So glad you managed to get it Gina I told you the cardigan would look great on Stefan, and i am sure you can knit the chicken it is quite easy once you get going.............. Thanks everyone for you kind words i really love her and have named her Henrietta as Sarah suggested, she is sat on my desk and is definitely not for playing with..................
