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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWunderschön!!
ReplyDeleteI think your parrot is adorable!
ReplyDeletejane I like your parrot and I saw a littlebit of the parade.
ReplyDeleteiwas 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!!
ReplyDeleteLove 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!)
ReplyDeleteExcellent parrot design, Jane! Not a 'poor relation' at all! I had to look twice at Mary's name! No wonder she designed a parrot!
ReplyDeleteI know you'll have a good time today! You should wear your new necklace!
Great parrot! He'd look so good on a shirt.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
