Usually the Everyday Inspirations feature is something from my home that is there all the time or for a long time, and that I am inspired by. This one is a bit of a stretch for the category, but I thought you'd all enjoy these knit chickens as much as I have.
My grandpa's sister knit these a long time ago, and they were recently found and came out for Easter. They are much like the person who made them: a little odd, but you gotta love 'em!
If you can't tell just by looking at them, each is filled with an Easter egg! Although, technically, I think you're supposed to use a real egg (and not just for the holiday) and place them at your table.
I'm not sure how to knit these, and I don't know that anyone would want to, but you can see they look pretty simple. If you're a knitter who likes to experiment a little, maybe you'd like to figure out a pattern and share it with us?
UPDATE: Julie shared the pattern you can use to make some just like this! Find it here. (Thanks, Julie!)
My Grandma used to knit these! Without the pom-pom tail though, that's a funky little touch.
ReplyDeleteShe would put a Caburys cream egg in them.
Thanks for sharing these as it allowed me to remember my dear Grandma.
Oh how cute! Sometimes it's the silly things that make me smile the most. What a fun way to start the day :)
ReplyDeleteMy gramma used to make these too. I still have a couple. I love them. I think she crocheted hers though. I'll have to take a look and see if I can figure her pattern.
