Tupp

Flaxig_tupp

For Show and Tell, Blackbird would like to see a chicken this week.  This one, with those exotic and sometimes-unfathomable names that IKEA has, is "Flaxig Tupp".  Tupp means cock or rooster, although I don’t know about flaxig — so Tupp he is.  I bought this when Laura was very little, along with his friend the goose, because of the wonderful character and expression in them — now honed by a couple of years of being chewed on by small children.

    I have him too!!! Although I think the proportions are different. I’ll be posting the rest of my chix pix this week as long as Blogger cooperates.

    My dear Bluestocking,
    I am preparing to knit EZ’s January Aran and the right-twisting travelling stitch has me befuddled. I went back to your January archives and read about your confusion on which stitch to knit into after the K2tog. What did you decide was the right way- knitting into the first or second stitch? My right-leaning travelling stitches are looking very wonky. Thanks!
