Latest project, Emotional support chickens

What’s an emotional support chicken? Let me explain. A number of the knitting podcasters I follow had been taken by the concept and had made then shown off their emotional support chickens. It’s a fun project to make and seems to bring infectious joy to the makers as well as recipients. It’s a good way to use up any scraps of wool making each chicken unique in its own right. I have used most of my scrapy leftover wool stash to make some interesting combinations.

A present for Sharon.
I couldn’t just make one.
She came next
Followed by these handsome birds.
This lot  completed the collection.
I thought Paul would appreciate an emotional support chicken for his birthday.

I have gifted several ESC,s and they have gone to Brisbane, Adelaide, Newcastle,  Armidale and Sydney. Sue let her daughter borrow hers and it was featured at a wellness event in Sydney.

Ian was taken by them as well and chose his favorite.

Gradually they will all go but I’m enjoying seeing them about my house. They make me smile each time I see them.
