Did Some one Say Chicken?

May I present to you Santa and Mrs. Chicken! Such a hoot to knit! After I knit the green one I decided to make a Santa. Such cutenes belongs on Cuteness over load! The original green pattern is from the Toving book from Sandnesgarn. I used the Tove which is a felting wool but to me it doesn't felt the way I want it to. The purl ridges are still very prominent. I find it actually looks half felted. Other than that though I like the look of the sitting chickens.






I also like the ornament. which I have also done as a Santa.


Can you tell I am getting into the Christmas spirit?




Next time...Beaded knit and felted trees! Ah yes more Christmas fun!!

Those chicks are adorable!!! I LOVE the Santa chick and ornament. No actually, I love both. Garter stitch doesn't look that good felted. Or you have to felt the crap out of it. I saw that on some of my bags. Can't wait to see more of your christmas stuff! ;o)

Those are too cute but what I really love is how the beard looks on the last picture. So full and lush. Great Job.
