Red bird

With my overloaded summer schedule, I did not get as much knitting completed as I had hoped.  But when I received a call from my favorite organization asking for a basket of knit “critters”, I knew it was time to get busy.

This weeks knitting project is an adorable little bird designed by Rebecca Danger.  I loved that the body was knitted in the round.  Before attaching the knit wings and beak, I added a set of 6/0 beads for the eyes.

If you’re a bird be an early bird –
But if you’re a worm sleep late.

Happy Knitting!
