Patterned Penguin

Hello there!

I made this charming chap today. Isn't he cute?

The pattern came from a lovely web-site, The Purl-Bee Penguin where they generously allow you to download pattern and instructions for free. And very clear, comprehensive instructions they are, too. I made this little fellow in about 2 hours this morning, and he's destined for my gorgeous grandson's collection of cuddlies, because the penguin seems to be the favoured creature du jour for him.

I was alerted to the web-site by my discerning and talented daughter who is always concerned that I should have enough to do in my retirement! No, actually  it's just that she wastes hours looking at lovely gorgeous things on-line when she should be writing her best-selling novel and when she finds something irresistible she shares it with us all.

So now I pass it on to you. Go on, make yourself a penguin or two! Perhaps you could go along with the interior decorating trend of having little bird decorations and make them in different colours. A row of technicolour penguins along the mantlepiece - you know you want to.
