I would just Like to say every one a big thank you to everyone who is knitting the chickens jumpers, But I would like to share with you all what Sewingkilla has been doing to help And I found this so funny . But it also made so much sense. Bless her heart. She has been using a frozen chicken for measurments for the jumers she is kniting I think that is great What do you all think . Hats of to her. Well done

That's given me the best laugh of the day. Well done, Sewingkilla. Do you do jackets for eggs too?

Brilliant, Sewing! What a brainwave. :-)

Now come on, Wagger - don't you remember egg cosies? ;-)

Good thinking.

OMG...whatever next...a frozen chicken template ! Great idea,though !

Well I think that was a brilliant idea. And who better to need a jumper than a frozen chicken!! LOL. No, really, I think that shows great inventiveness. Perhaps we should have sewingK knitting wellie warmers for the WWOlympics.

Donnah and Sewing, Very compassionate. And inventive. I'd like to see pictures of the hens when they get their feathers back.

Last night there was an item on radio Humberside about about someone in Norfolk knitting jumpers for chickens.Just thought you would like to know the news seems to be spreading fast.They also gave the website for the pattern.Hopefully there will be tons of woollies 'winging' their way to Norfolk :)
