Since many of you remember me by my crochet, i figure i would start sharing it with you. I have enough of it, that's for sure.
This one is a crocheted penguin afghan made up like a puzzle with 238 small granny squares and a finished edging that makes this afghan durable and long lasting. The back features raised connecting stitches that resembles a quilt. It has a matching stuffed penguin. This is truly a labor of love, but so cute, a real keepsake.
The afghans approximate size is 45 inches tall by 35 inches wide, and the adorable stuffed penguin has plastic safety eyes connected with plastic washers.
Measures approx 5 inches tall by 16 1/2 around mid section. feet,wings, and whites of eyes are sewn on. Stuffed with poly-fil polyester fiber.
What would you name this penguin?

That is tough to do. Most have never had a penguin for a pet-What about Quinn?
Great job on this, by the way!

My brain is not being very creative right now. I love that you have made a set of the toy and afghan. Po might be a good name for a penguin. Or Gwen if it is a girl penguin.
