Birthday Penguin!

I finished this little guy at 2:00 AM last night, just in time to slip her into Amber's bedroom with a Birthday Girl ribbon pinned to it.  I adapted the pattern from here.  Really, all I did was change the eyes and add a tail.  For the feet, beak and tail, I intertwined yarn and embroidery thread for a neat multi-color look.  And my penguin-loving birthday princess loves it!!

My next project...

I have been looking at neck warmer patterns for Christmas presents. We aren't gifting for adults but I wanted to crochet something special for grandmas. Here are some of my favorites so far. Different colors would be used of course. All of these are made from a basic rectangle!


The next three are variations of the same pattern starting with the least frilly version.

Another Sleeve...Different Pattern

I like this pattern much better! I would suggest having a cup on hand so you can keep trying it on and making adjustments. Depending on your yarn size, hook size, and how tightly you crochet you will need to make adjustments.

Cup o' Jo Anyone?

Can't wait to test it out (this was yesterday's cup)! Here was my inspiration!
