Oooooops, sorry, I mean 'Pieces of Eight!!!
What do you think of this chap? Would he make a good pattern or not? I've been wanting to make a parrot for years and years but never could get Mary Parrot's parrot out of my head. Her's is a stonking great parrot and I know mine would never be as 'parroty' as hers. Here's a link to her pattern.
I made hers years and years ago but must've given it away as I can't find it. Here's my poor relation. Pattern to follow - after a bit more teasing and eye candy!!!!!
Well, you know me - I like to make you wait a few days!!!!!!
Tell you one extra thing - yesterday's pageant on the Thames was fantastic. Watched it on the telly all afternoon. Today's our street party so not a lot will be done today!!!!

You should come an visit me - the bottlebrush trees are FULL of the noisiest, most colourful rainbow lorikeets! Your parrot would look stunning in their colours of electric blue, lime green and red.
I watched the pageant all night on TV - my favourite part was seeing them all bouncing up and down in time with the music!
Splendid parrot! Lovely bright colours too.
Wunderschön!!
I think your parrot is adorable!
jane I like your parrot and I saw a littlebit of the parade.
iwas the whole weekend at an exposition of bobbin lace of the guild I am a member of and what was so wonderfull I was allowed to show my tatting dollies between the bobbinlace dollies. That is something special.
I am looking out for your pattern of the parrot
hugs and greetings

I think your Parrot is Splendid!!
Love it - clean simple lines and appropriate colour. You certainly have captured the essence of parrot with this wonderful design. Well done!

I love your parrot! And thanks for the link to the other one too. While I don't consider myself too fond of figurative tatting, I can certainly appreciate it! (and it would probably work great in the colourway I used for my poor goat in January, LOL!)
Excellent parrot design, Jane! Not a 'poor relation' at all! I had to look twice at Mary's name! No wonder she designed a parrot!
I know you'll have a good time today! You should wear your new necklace!
Great parrot! He'd look so good on a shirt.
I love him!!!! And I hope you do up a pattern for him!! The parrot is on the coat of arms for dads side of the family and I know he would like one!!
