A nest of knitted chicks

Before I share my crafty stuff today, I just want to say a big hello to everyone joining us here via the new facebook page and to say thanks for your support (I'm a little overwhelmed at how many of you there are!) - welcome!

I've been doing some early preparation for Easter as Cameron's birthday falls on Easter weekend, this year.

I started by knitting a hare, using a pattern from All Year Round, but it turned out to look more like a mini reindeer and Cameron teased me about it so much that I can't bring myself to post it here!

So I was very pleased when my next attempt - knitted chicks - turned out to actually look like chicks and also, rather cute!

I used the pattern from All Year Round but the same one is also in The Children's Year, I think. It required me to learn how to increase - something I hadn't done before - and I'm really proud of my little chickies!

Just to up the cute factor, I made them a little nest in a basket!

Have you got Easter projects on the go?
