You thought this was a knitblog didn’t you? Well to be honest, it never began as one… back in 2001… on a different blog/server/name. But when I started getting back into knitting properly… I think it was mid-2005, and then strongly in late-2006, the blog sort of converted. It was very organic.
So I know it’s been a looooong time since I’ve posted anything about knitting, so here is something: I’m working on a gift. {everyone groans and rolls their eyes} But I don’t think the recipient reads the blog, or if she does, she won’t know this is for her. So here is it:
Partway done… does it look like a Penguin? Before I put the wings on, it looked like a Snowman.
It’s from Jean Greenhowe’s Knitted Animals.
If you look at the arms in this photo of the pattern – the Penguin is supposed to have different wings. Now look up at the duck wings on the cover of the Pattern Book, Yep… I used duck arms on Penguin.

I love it, duck arms on the penguin. What do you call that? A penguick?
So…essentially…this penquin will be able to fly, right? Just sayin’. ;-)
Oooh, I need that pattern! My stepson used to be into penguins, although at nearly 16, I’m betting he wouldn’t find a knitted one from me too exciting…
Man, those knitted toys are wicked cute. It figures; everyone told me crochet was better for making stuffed animals, but everywhere I look right now I see cute stuffed animals I want to make… and they’re all knit. Not fair!
