The Attack of the Sweater



I FINALLY finished Henny Penny's sweater. I had yarn left over so I made her a matching hat. It didn't need a hat because the sweater is a hoodie but a matching hat is cool right?



Henny Penny loves it. She thinks it is cool and wears it all of the time, well, that is......until Mr. M!!!

Mr. M told Henny Penny she looks like a tiger is attacking her. After I quit laughing I told Henny Penny not to worry. I'd knit Mr. M a zebra sweater and she could attack him!

  13. Carrilyne, Thank you. It makes it fun when Henny Penny likes what I make.

    Ginna, Funny, we were riding up in the mountains last fall and the colors as you know up S. Fork are just blazing amazing. I saw those colors and thought, I want to make Henny Penny a sweater out of these colors so I contacted a gal on the internet and she dyed the wool for me. Pretty nice of her eh?

  14. So yeah - that was the dyed wool. You ambitious little creature, you. Here you are, finishing things, while I am just dogpaddling in place, looking frantically for land. Fetch. (that goes with dogpaddling)
