I have lots of posting to do. So lets see… I think I’ll just do several over the next couple of days.
First up… The Three Sista Chickens!
Last month I started knitting chickens for the Grays Harbor County Fair auction. In the past I have donated themed gift baskets and this year I wanted to knit something fun. So when I saw the pattern for Knit Chickens by Susan B. Anderson – how could I resist.
Everyday the pattern and yarn went to work with me and at break and during my lunch I would knit on them. Soon Stripe the littlest chicken was done.

Now, even with stripe done, she came to work with me each day, and traveled around with me where ever I went. She inspired me to keep working on her sisters. People at work from different departments started coming to visit the little Stripe chicken. Soon we had another sister chicken… her name is Flower.

Now with Flower done, her and little sister Stripe decided they needed to go out and explore. So I took them to the library with me in Montesano. They waited for me in the flowers.

This was fun and the sun was shinning (a rare treat) so we went to the beach in Ocean Shores on the way home.

Camera setting got messed up while we were at the beach.
Now with auction time getting close, I pressed on and picked up the pace and soon Dot the third sister was done. It was time to go back and visit Sherri at The Yarn Corner for one more photo shoot!

The sun came out for a minute and the girls look into the shop at yarn!

The sad day when the girls left to go off to auction finally came and I wrote a letter to send with the photo collage I put together. This was to remind them of all the adventures we had together and to tell them that they were going to continue their life adventures with someone else.

Saturday was the auction and they went to a very good home for $110.00 in the live auction!!!!!! I was very proud of them.
So now people at work ask me if I miss them. Well of course, but guess what? I’m going to make cousins!
OK, enough for now. I’ll post again a couple of times this weekend.
