Funny how fast you can knit when you need to produce results very fast.
The wife has brought a few baby chicks that were abandoned by their mother in the house to help raise them. 2 days old and little yellow fluff balls.
So what do I do. I tuck them under my neck to keep them warm and rip apart an old angora sweater to knit into a sort of bag with a loose knit so its not too warm to mimic the underneath of a hen to act as their mother. i had it completed in two hours.
Its working. They snuggle under it and sleep for hours. If I take it away they cry.
I really need to go get a new camera. This is too sweet not to show pics.
