Although the major work on my penguin was done about a month ago, I finally got around to assembling the little guy.  Muchas Gracias to Wil for posting about the pattern. 

Please don't laugh at his little thumb-tack eyes, he's very sensitive about them.  Besides, I haven't decided what I want to use for the eyes yet and the push pin is purely temporary.

I feel pretty groovy because knitty.com labeled the pattern 'piquant', "A little something for the seasoned knitter."  Yee Haw!

I have this little guy's

I have this little guy's half-finished brother in my knitting basket, but I got distracted and never bought the stuffing material.  I don't have any eyes either, but thought some rhinestone buttons would be nice if I can find them.

This particular guy is all

This particular guy is all mine.  He's slightly imperfect and I think I'll tackle the pattern again before giving them as gifts.  Besides, I think my niece would like one in pink or purple.
