I finished the penguins

Hi Susie Ann,
I made the different pieces for the penguins over time.

i am curious about something, about how tall are your penquins? The reason I ask is because I am wondering if they would be suitable for a child toy or someone who likes stuffed animals. By the looks of the basket that you have them sitting in they are fairly good size and would not be suitable for a baby to use if made into a rattle for them. I do a lot of crocheting, unfortunately I haven't had the time to teach myself how to knit, and I have been saving medicine bottles to fill part way with beans, bells, macaroni, things like this that make noise, I have found that a lot of the small stuffed animals can be used as rattles for babies. I also hot glue the lids on. You did a wonderful job of making these two friends, have you thought about making a bow to put on 1's head so 1 could be a girl for the other?

Hi Grandmommy of 5,
The penguin is about 6 1/2 inches tall. No, I haven't thought about putting a bow on the one penguin.

They are so cute! who are they for? I'm sure whoever gets them will be thrilled!

Donna P. Bradshaw, Hi, I gave one penguin away and I didn't see the person at the community center and I asked someone else if she wanted a penguin and she said her kids liked penguins but I haven't gotten around to getting it to her yet.

The penquins are so cute. You did such a wonderful job. I like penquins. I want to make some for my new house to put out at Christmas time.

Hi Jean Marie,
Your penguins are adorable!! You did a wonderful job. I'd like to find a crochet pattern to make some. I can knit, but prefer crochet.

Thanks for sharing!!!
