I felt like knitting something the other day and Kirsty suggested a penguin. Since I had the right colour wool (well... close enough) I though I would give it a go. Sooo, I introduce, Mak the penguin:
(Pattern from here)He is currently called Mak after the pattern but name suggestions are most welcome. As long as it's not Tiki... or Chicken...
The pattern asked for 3.25mm needles and I could only find one 3.25 double pointed needle so I went for 4mm instead which means the stuffing shows through a little bit :( I also didn't have any yellow wool for the feet and beak so I used a beige-y gold-y colour which I had got to make a meerkat for Kirsty last year. Aaaanyway, I think he is quite cute ^_^
Other than that I haven't done too much today. Mostly sorting out the animals. My mum looks after them well while I'm at uni but there are always things to do when I got back. Ruby the rabbit has had rather a fetching haircut since her mane was getting matted. Pipkin obviously isn't fulfilling his grooming duties. Here is a picture of the rabbits just cause they are cute:
Pipkin is the netherland dwarf and Ruby is the lionhead with the rather pathetic mane. It has grown much longer than that this year. I do not know why.
Aaanyway, that's it for today. I am proud I have managed to update two days in a row :D
Bye for now!
