I never expected to say this....

.......but I am crocheting robins!

They've come to a pause until I can find toy stuffing in the local shops. Haberdashry shops are few and far between these days.

The robin pattern is found in the latest Let's Get Crafting Knitting and Crochet magazine.

For the first I used the kit wool and copied the instructions then bought a cheapo ball of brown acrylic for the second; robins are not yellow and red! (I tweeted the designer and she said she had run out of other colours to use in the kit which is sold with the magazine. Fair enough...)
