For Christmas!!
♥♥♥
So that was why on the day before christmas eve…
It was a late request of course because I never leave anything to the last minute….is my nose growing?
….I could be found hooking very fast, ready for Santa to collect.
♥♥♥
The 11yr old likes ducks and chickens.
He has the most endearing faith in my ability to crochet anything.
He gave me a list.
1x dad duck,1x girl duck,some chicks and eggs, there must be eggs, preferably to include a hatching chick.
What?
Well I made it all up as I went along….thats what.
I call it “freestyling”
It only took a couple of hours it ‘flowed’ some projects do that don’t they?
♥♥♥
First came the Nest
♥♥♥
It worked up really quickly using double crochet and a big hook and chunky yarn,.
I then threaded some scraps through and wove them in.
♥♥♥
Next Dad duck
I had to look in a bird book for the colours.
♥♥♥
Onto Mama duck
♥♥♥
with baby duckling,
♥♥♥
♥♥♥
A happy family

Lastly the eggs,

♥♥♥
Did you get any special ‘last minute’ requests?
