New UFO’s

A new year requires a new list of UFO’s (UnFinished Objects).

• knitting the Central Park Hoodie from Knitty
• knitting the Djoser Shawl by Cassie Castillo
• spinning gold silk from Dreamy Goat Design Studio
• spinning mohair samples for an upcoming class
• Studio 49 Retreat Purple Fiber Exchange project
• crocheting Angry Bird amigarumi birds and pigs for my son, Ian

I must have more projects to add to the list as the UFO baskets and boxes are piled in a big heap that definitely looks like more than just 6 projects. But the list will suffice for now.

This year, like last year, I endeavor to finish more projects than I start.

Snickering Pigs

I finished Angry Bird Pig #1 a month ago. Here he is (reference blog post Too Busy).

I finished Angry Bird Pig #2 last week. Here he is.

Here they are together. Aren’t they ridiculously cute?!?

Can you tell one pig is bigger than the other? Not sure how that happened but I must have tightened the yarn tension on the second one. It’s probably closer to pattern gauge than the first piggy. Have one more to make.

Ian calls them “Snickering Pigs.”

The Bomb!

My latest "commission..."

A set of Angry Bird Amigarumi toys. The Bomb is the first of 3 birds and 3 pigs I have to make.

I found free crochet patterns on Ravelry. Thanks much Adorable Amigarumi.

In case you need a size reference...

The Bomb is bigger than Ian’s head.
