Purple was the overwhelming favorite pick for comb and wattle, and I think it looks great. I chose green eyes to pick up the green in her tail feathers. And I didn’t bother washing/blocking before seaming; her stitches are pretty even, right off the needles. Git. Er. Done.
Eggatha joins her big sister Henelope Aubergina Featherington. I used a US7 needle for Henelope, and a US5 for Eggatha. Eggatha is smaller and stuffed more firmly, which is what I wanted for Emotional Support Chicken #2. Do you ever knit something more than once, because you have an idea for how you’d like it better if you changed something about it?
And now I guess I should get back to work knitting! I think I’m going to frog my brioche/assigned pooling project and start over, because it’s not quite what I want. Almost there, I hope? The chickens have been a nice diversion while I ponder what happens next. Procrastiknitting for the win!

Procrastiknitting. Ah, a perfect word! I do that a lot.
Those chickens are just adorable–I think they are beyond my talents as a knitter, but I sure admire them!

The knitting was easy! The instructions are good. Seaming might be slightly challenging, but only if you’re picky. Very fun.

Thank you,

Hi Jayne! It’s the Emotional Support Chicken; you can find it on Ravelry. Have fun!
Love the chickens!! Just a WONDERFUL use of colors. Love your many comments on everything and always enjoy the photos that accompany your work.
Always get a smile when I read your emails. I look forward to knitting one of the lovely chickens.
Thank you!!

Haha, emotional chickens as “palette cleansers”. Ugh, sorry to hear you feel the need to frog your assigned pool. Seems I’ve been doing a lot of “learning” lately that requires frogging.
I don’t mind frogging if it gets me wh
Sooo cute! You were the reason I decided to start one!
Mine is up to the breast – I’m hoping to make some good progress on her this week
Henelope and Eggatha, I love it!
I have knit second versions of things. Not often, but it has happened 🙂 I love Eggatha’s name!
Love the chickies. Great names. You have a big and little sister.
Will there be any more stuffed animals?
