I tested the pattern Snippet for Hunter Hammersen. These wrist-warmers are fun and pretty and quirky so they made me think of a friend/coworker and her possible Christmas gift. I used soft yellow baby yarn and was really pleased with how they turned out. This was a quick fun knit; I will be making more at some point. Thinking pink and purple for some special little girls in my circle.
So, after completing two soft fuzzy yellow wristlets, I decided to add a chicken charm buried in the ruffle to remind the friend of our inside joke (Tastes like Chicken!). Turns out either a. I’m really picky about what my chicken charms look like or b. the chicken charm selection in the world is not that great….and yes, I checked the Internet. So, at Lisa’s suggestion, I started the chicken button hunt. I was able to find ones I liked. So, I sewed this chicken right into the ruffle. Somehow, one chicken seemed more fun and quirky while a chicken on each hand seemed way too far. I cannot explain my logic, but there it is.
They were gifted Monday and she seemed to be a fan. She did not however burst into song:
On the second day of Christmas, my coworker gave to me. Two Ruffled Cuffs and a Chicken Buried Right in the Crease!
