Fiber Arts Friday: Emotional Support Chicken™, part 3

I wasn't good about taking photos during the process... but since last time

• I have joined the feathers on my Emotional Support Chicken, 
• reclaimed the defective feather
• knit the body, neck, head, and bottom,
• woven in the ends,
• stuffed, and
• seamed all of the pieces

This chicken is pretty cute.  :-)

She is on her way to her new home, but there's a good chance I'll make one for myself.  :-)

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Fiber Arts Friday: Emotional Support Chicken™, part 2

I have completed both Tail pieces on my Emotional Support Chicken™.

I had to make three, because I missed a small part of  the initial step for the middle and last Tail Feathers...

Pretty crazy how a small mistake makes for a completely different outcome.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Fiber Arts Friday: Emotional Support Chicken™

Well... on April 30th, while I was between the Trout Jaywalker Socks and the Trout Circles the Square Socks, I happened upon the Emotional Support Chicken. 

I was kind of thinking I wanted to make a chicken... but the idea hadn't really formulated yet and POOF, there it was... I bought the pattern almost immediately.

Then all of a sudden, I realized a whole lot of people were making their own Emotional Support Chickens.  There are also  kits available for both knitting and crochet.

Who knew so many people could use their own Emotional Support Chicken??

Isn't it funny how you don't see something, then once you start paying attention, that something is everywhere?

Anyway, I know someone who could use an Emotional Support Chicken... and in checking my stash, I have all of the supplies needed to make one resembling our Rooster.

So I pulled the pieces together and cast-on late on May Day.

The US-7 needles feel giant after so much US-0 work.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
