Can you even stand the cuteness?

Ok, here is my latest creation.....I am quite proud:

Meet Sidney Penguin!

It is well known that I am a huge hockey fan and my team is the Dallas Stars. However, in December of last year, I became fascinated by a young Pittsburgh Penguin named Sidney Crosby. I really had no intention of actually becoming a Penguins fan....it just happened. So now I am a dual team fan.....though the Stars will always be #1 in my heart! (it's just that they don't have a mascot....)

Anyhow, I have crocheted many animals.....monkeys, pigs, elephants, etc. But all have been from a pattern. This little guy is a conglomeration of MANY patterns, but I think it's ok to claim him as my own (the hockey stick? totally made up by your's truly!). The only thing I have left to do is go to Michael's and see if I can find some numbers to put on his back.

And, who knows, maybe I'll whip up some more teammates for him.....a little Evgeni Penguin. And a Marc-Andre Penguin. And a bigger penguin I'll call Georges LaPenguin!

It's gonna be a loooooooooooong summer.....
