I WONDER

To be master of any branch of
knowledge, you must master
those which lie next to it; and
thus to know anything you
must know all.
 
~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
I have been working
very hard on my chart
reading and learning to
have the proper tension
with stranded knitting,
but it seems I am ready
to move on and learn
something else. It seems
I have developed a "Been
there, done that" kind of
attitude.
I picked up this gorgeous
Araucania yarn when I
was at my local yarn
store and have been
browsing Ravelry for a
pattern. While poking
around this morning
I saw this and am now
wondering if I have
enough time to knit
an cute little outfit for
Miss Margret?

She is the sweetest,
most loving chicken,
lays the largest eggs
I have ever seen, but
she is also the most
daring of the girls.
To put it nicely, she
is the one who loves
to explore her world
and is quite nosey.
 
What do you think,
do you dress up your
chickens?

    Miss Margret looks like a beautiful "free range chick" to me :) You had me rolling at that chicky pattern- too funny. I would love to have chickens.

    LOL! That is a hilarious thought. I say go for it! What a neat "yarn-bombing" that would be. Amazing how an egg comes out from a hen's body.

    What fun. I believe that chicken farmers used to put little spectacles on their chickens too.
    Happy Easter

    love that sweet (nosy) hen.
    I don't dress up my chickens. But I think a knit hat would be awesome! Go for it!

    There is a pair of colorwork mitts in my WIPs

    Must make time in "my busy schedule"
    Snicker, snicker
    I do want to become comfortable with this technique

    That's funny, I had no idea how to even imagine what a chicken outfit would look like until I clicked the link!
