project 16 (The Chicken and Cockerel) #1

May, project 24

To all my craftalong friends,

I am so sorry to be posting our May project sooooooo late. There has been at least one person sick in our family for at least a month now, and at the moment three of us. I cannot wait for us all to be healthy again. I did complete my April project (a wee chicken and her chicks), but alas no camera for pictures. I am waiting on a battery for my camera and as soon as it gets here (hopefully sometime this week), I hope to have pictures up. In the meantime, if any of you have pictures from your projects I would be so so happy to post them. Hoping all of you are well.

And now for our late May project; easy and fast but very fun indeed:

May's craftalong project: Paper boxes, project 24 on page 30 of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year.
I am imagining doll house beds, holders of many treasures waiting to be found in the woods, and boxes for birthday presents for my soon to be three year old next month.

Craftalong with love! Anna

April, project 16

April's craftalong project: The Chicken and Cockerel, project 16 on page 22 of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year.

What the book says about the project:
"Here is an opportunity to knit a whole farmyard set; the chickens and cockerel are quick and simple to make."

I'm thinking of making chicks as well, it's spring after all. They would certainly knit up fast, and they would be so cute; quite like the real fluff balls, that run around like mad.

Craftalong with love! Anna
