Cora the Emotional Support Chicken

Cora was abandoned in October, in favor of holiday knitting. With the next spinning guild meeting breathing down my neck, I felt motivated to finish *something* since I've been nagging other guild members to do the same.

Pattern: Emotional Support Chicken by Annette Corsino
Yarn: Cascade 220, naturally dyed with dyers coreopsis and onion skins
Needles: US7
Modifications: none

Cora is knitted, so came out a little smaller than her sister Sunny Tutu. I've toyed with the idea of creating a pattern for a stockinette ESC, but I have plenty of other things to work on.

So the completion of this gal brings my completed UFOs to two for the year. What shall I work on next?

Sunny Tutu the (crocheted) Emotional Support Chicken

Sunny was abandoned in November to make way for holiday knitting. She is one of my UFO's that is now an FO (per my New Year's resolution). I know she hasn't been a UFO for long, but it made sense to work backwards through my UFO list.

Pattern: Emotional Support Chicken (crochet) by Annette Corsino
Yarn: Mostly Cascade 220 (maybe some Valley Yarn) naturally dyed with sunflower and turmeric (and a little onion skin and dyers coreopsis)
Hook: G
Modifications: The summary page on Ravelry specifies an F hook, but the written pattern calls for a 4.5mm, which is between G and H, so I used G

The bottom makes this softie fairly stable, so she sits pretty just about anywhere she nests.

Turmeric is not very colorfast, so I will not be surprised if Sunny fades a bit. I'll keep her out of the light as much as possible, without hiding her away in a closet.
