Bumper Chickens Adventure


These are crocheted models for an illustration of the phrase "numerous smoldering chickens". I'm going to loops stitch some flames later for them to sit on.

I'm making the effort to blog more so maybe there will be posts every few days or so so keep an eye out... :)

Other projects on the go:


This is my new toy, a knitting mill. It's like the i-cording of last post but a heck of a lot quicker. and it's turning this crappy lemon yellow acrylic 2(ish) ply yarn I found in a charity shop for £1.99 (400g about) into awesome thick yarn that is going to be turned into this:



A giant chicken. Well this just happens to be the giant chickens bottom at the moment. Its crocheted with a 8mm hook and even that's a bit too tight. The yarn is slightly hairy so it makes it bulky.

I'll leave this post with a lovely image of Jo Sharp Infusion Kid Mohair. I generally hate mohair but the colours of this were just to lovely to ignore. I'm going to make it into a hamster (for another illustration.)

I'd like to comment that I have a new camera and It has far more gadgets and do-dads than I have brain power so I'm not quite use to it yet. Well that's my excuse...


Hopefully better photographs tomorrow..
