just hatched
Despite all my talk of spring, we've had relentless rain (and occasional snow) around here. So much rain in fact that a major leak forced Miles to evacuate his room and move in with his (none-too-pleased) sister. I'm still feeling spring, though.
This little chick is made from the softest, fluffiest alpaca and wool blend. I've had my eye on this luxurious fabric for a while, and it finally was marked down enough for me to be able to afford my little quarter of a yard. She's stuffed with wool as usual and has fabric-wrapped wire feet. My inspiration was this feather chick my sister gave me last year. A little flock of these chicks will be in my shop next week just in time for Easter baskets or other celebrations of spring. I'll let you know which day ahead of time.
forgot to add: Larissa is selling her very cool meathead hat pattern to benefit a family here in Portland. I'm totally excited to make one - even if I may have forgotten how to knit (it's been over a year now). She's accepting donations from non-knitters as well.
