From Susan — Not Another Peep!

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 10:58 am

Oh, yes there is!  Another peep!

My new speckled hen was made to look like an actual chicken, and I love her.  I used leftover yarn from my Pickpocket sweater: Brooklyn Tweed Shelter, color Newsprint.  I used Ravelry Red Rios for the red and Cascade 220 for the black.

I made one of these as a hostess gift and a couple more of the small chicks as requested gifts.  It’s still a fun little thing to do!

  5. There is actually a pattern for a knitted granny square by Frankie Brown on Ravelry (“How to Knit a Granny Square”). As she says it is much slower going than crochet so making an afghan out of it would not be recommended but as a parlor trick, coaster or …chicken!…it might be worthwhile. For those of us who can’t crochet for the life of us but really want to make a chicken.
