to celebrate the launch of my new weblog and because i'm so proud i (kind of) made it in time for easter, here are a few pictures of my version of anna from mochimochilands "which came first?" reversible chicken and egg pattern, as featured in the current issue of CRAFT magazine....





i think it turned out fine, though the yellow chicken is knit a little too loosely and if the stuffing shifts, the blue of the egg peeps through a little.... i knit an easter egg pattern, partly because it is (was) easter and partly because they didn't have any white yarn in the kind that i wanted. and i couldn't wait and i couldn't buy yarn anywhere else, because i had. to. start. right. away! AND because the lovely mr. hippo offered to buy me yarn after i had profusely expressed my profound unhappiness of having forgotten to buy yarn for the cute chick-n-egg pattern. i'm sure you'll understand...
