Here's my most recent knitting project. I saw this free pattern offered on
Ravelry and was anxious to try it. I needed a smallish project that could be done with the odds and ends of yarn that I seem to have here. It's pretty cute, if I do say so myself. The robin is 5" tall and 3 1/2" wide across the front. The eggs are about 1 1/4 inches long, and the nest is about 2" tall and 7 inches across. My nest looks quite different from the designer's sample, but I had to use the yarn I had and I wanted my nest to be fluffier around the edge. Also my robin's beak may be a tad duck-like, now that I look at the pictures critically! Oops!

Fat Robin looks quite proud of herself!

You can tuck the eggs right up under the robin's tail feathers!

A view of the nest from the bottom. (Perplexing the robin considerably...)

I love your playfulness, Wanda. And who can say if all robin beaks are the same size? Human beaks certainly are not!
Ha! Yes, the human schnoz takes many shapes and sizes!
