Dorris Duckling

I made this for my friend, Carolyn

    About

    I’m really enjoying making these ducklings and I thought Carolyn might like one made from the leftover yarn from the cushions I made her last year.
    I struggled with the hat a bit - I seemed to have the wrong side out for the green bit, and then the puppy got hold of it so I had to redo that bit anyway, and when I looked again at the pattern I noticed a knit row missing - problem solved!

      Ohh wee Doris is sooo cute Karen I love the colours you have used for her. Her hat really finishes her off perfectly.😊😊How funny is that i have been knitting these ducks too, that happens so often that we are knitting the same things at the same time.lol.😉😉😊😊I hope wee Rogan was a good girl at puppy school and wasn't flirting too much with those naughty wee boys.lol.💕💕💕

        Thank you Michelle. Oh how funny is that, you making ducks too. Shall look forward to seeing yours. I have another on the needles at the moment - more left over blanket yarn. I would be making a blanket but there is no stock of the paintbox aran that I like - very frustrating!
        Rogan is very good at puppy school - the problem is finding the time to practice what we have learned. But yes she is a dreadful flirt. She knows very well how cute she is! At the moment she is running around with one long ear and one short - I just about managed to trim one ear but she won’t let me do the other!
