On the subject of knitting

you may have spotted on the right hand side of my blog, the hatometer for this year's supergran appeal from innocent smoothies.

But while I'm on the subject of knitting I wanted the share with you this little penguin I made for my youngest son. I was sent the pattern by Jo, who got it from Knitty.com, as my son had to have stitches in his lip last weekend. She sent him a lovely penguin card and a pattern for me. He loves his penguin.
I on the other hand look at it with a critical eye and think that the tension is too loose. So I have started the next one on smaller needles (which will result in a smaller penguin!).
