A Knitted Penguin

I finished the penguin that I was knitting.  It is for a little girl’s birthday next week.

 

It is not the sort of thing I normally knit.  I haven’t got enough patience for toys.  It is an Alan Dart pattern that was published in Simply Knitting magazine a few years ago.  His patterns are excellent – very precise and accurate.  It is just not my sort of knitting – I like to learn a pattern quickly and then carry on knitting without having to keep referring to instructions.  I don’t find that relaxing or enjoyable – it is stressful!

I am now going to knit something that I have just got to knit – I can’t get it out of my head.
