Got the pattern, and printed it out. Now, to find the colors of yarn I'd like to use..... <NO, you're not going shopping for yarn again, go look in your stash )

 

But first, I think you should replace your ink cartridges in your printer so that you can actually read the pattern

I haven't received a copy of the pattern yet though I think I was the first to volunteer. I'll resend my email address to you privately.

Alrighty. I made my lil birdie and he is very very cute.

The only suggestion/change I would make to the pattern to make it more clear for someone who has never made something like this would be to add a "repeat around" and/or add stich count after the rnds.

 

ex. 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook

2 sc in each sc (12 sc)

2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc * repeat around (18 sc)

 

to me that would make it just more clear. But the pattern is plenty understandable as is. It was quick and easy to whip up. Thanks for allowing me to test it.

Hi Bren, Thanks so much for letting me test your pattern. I posted a picture here.

The only change I made were to use a 4.25 hook and I did not ch1 at the begining of each round, I just worked in a sprial. I always get holes when I chain one. I think there might be a typo in round 4 of the tail I frogged it twice. I think it should be ch1, 2sc in firstsc, sc in next 4sc, 2 sc in last sc, turn. It should be 4sc not 3. Some one also suggested to do a stitch count at the end of each round I agree, I would help beginners.

Thanks again,

Bonnie

yea that's what a lot of testers have been pointing out...I'll definately remember these things for the next time I do a pattern, I need these kinds of pointers...

 

your birdie turned out so PERFECT! I'm so happy...!

great color choices!

 

thanks so much for testing!

[ChainOFools]

I'm also finished mine and put a post in the Misc. Thread...this little guy worked up fast!

 

I also noticed the typo in the tail, and would also recommend the stitch counts and "repeat around" comments everyone else has said.

 

I also chained one after joining the ring for the feet before I began to sc around the ring.

 

Thanks again for letting me test your pattern!

I just posted pics of mine:

Had a blast testing - only thing I would add to what others have said was that I left a long tail of yarn before starting the tail so I could sew it on with that and I added an extra row on the tale of sc, ch1, sc across to give it a little ruffle.

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me test!!

Nutsaboutcrochet13 I finished the parakeet and posted a photo yesterday but forgot to post here. Between the thunderstorms and dd using my computer for her homework, it's been interesting lately. Anyway, here is a photo of my version, I call her Greenie:
