New Chicken Incoming

I found a wonderful way to knit up some handspun yarn. She is going to be more than a little red hen, but I just so happy to know I'm finally working with some of my handspun.



I did need to correct a little "Are you sure you're really following the pattern" issue. Yep I knit one tail feather bigger than the other. Simple reknit of one gets me the matching size.



Burt thinks this chicken is just warm enough. Originally I was going to use two of my handspuns together, but this one was two ply and the other was three. I worried gauge would be too difficult to make them work together. Plus why fight against this gorgeous color changing yarn? It has all the magic it needs.

Happy Knitting!!
