February is another month of birthdays for our family! Our oldest granddaughter, Nicole, turned 16 this year. Where has the time gone? One day, when she was out on Pinterest, she saw a cute French penguin and she showed it to her mom. Her mom, showed it to me and the rest is history. :) I found a pattern for a similar penguin and then added the mustache, scarf and beret. This little guy stands about 5 inches tall.
Then, on February 14, Claire turned 13! She loves owls, and I wanted to make her a fun owl. Lots of fun colors for her owl.
My birthday was in January and I have a very good friend, Debbie, who lives in Minnesota. She sent me two gifts!!! One gift is this wonderful skein of her handspun yarn and I immediately wound it into a ball of yarn. My swift doesn't hold the size skein that it was, so I put the yarn on two chairs and wound it by hand. I love this yarn!!!! Thanks, Deb!!
Here is the ball of yarn all ready to go. This color below is closer to the real color than the one above.
The skein measured about 440 yards of yarn. I have decided to make a crochet vest pattern that is from Lion Brand. Here's the link to the pattern. The pattern was written by Doris Chan and she has some very beautiful designs.
These mittens are beautiful!! They are the other part of my birthday gift. I absolutely love them! Debbie, you are an exquisite knitter and spinner.
