WIP part 2

Still working on that blanket and have also started another one for a friend who was not doing so well - health wise. I've finished up the snowmen and started on my mom's garland/scarf for her picture frame. It's finished, I just have to add embellishments. I was making up some angels from Priscilla Hewitt's site to give away at a Christmas party we went to Sunday evening, but I was only able to get 3 of them made. Oh well. Maybe next year. I hate when I'm working on more that one project at a time. I feel like I don't have enough time to finish the projects I want. I need to get better organized.

WIP

I am currently working up a blanket for a gift. It's made with Lion Brand Chenille - Peacock. I got it on sale at Herrschners for $3.97 a skein. Nice. :) I'm also using Lion Brand Homespun - Prairie. I LOVE this blanket. It is so much fun to make. But, I also have a infant lapghan I want to finish and a snowman. So, I'll be busy today switching back and forth.

Penguin

My daughter wanted to give her friend a stuffed penguin for his birthday (12/1). We will be seeing him tonight so I thought I would be able to quickly design a pattern for a large stuffed animal looking very close to Tux, the Linux penguin. But, the challenge proved a bit too difficult to tackle in such a limited time-frame. This afternoon, a package arrived from Herschners with some yarn that I ordered and a pattern booklet for stuffed animals. It's Cuddle Buddies from Annie's Attic. There is a pattern for a duck in there, so I decided I could modify it a bit for my needs. ;) I used a size G hook and worsted weight yarn. Just some scraps I had lying around. He's 7" tall.
