My first Duck!!!

[NurseFrawg]

:ducky I made a duck!!!!! I am so happy. This is my first completed 3-d project. I found the pattern in a book called Crocheted Gifts in a Weekend by Nola Theiss. I named my little duckie friend A.B. (Yes after Alton Brown from Good Eats. Look at the hair of the duck then think of Alton's hair). Anyways here are a few pics of my little A.B.

Thanks for taking a look... Oh yeah you aren't seeing things and your computer screen isn't going south. I made little A.B. with a skien of unknown yarn. It was a Goodwill find without the wrapper thingy. It is a light yellow, light green, and white variegated yarn. Anyways I had some leftover reclaimed rug yarn that was screaming to become blue eyes. I stuffed him with some leftover batting and a small handful of navy beans to add some weight. :hook
Thanks for looking and thanks for those who helped to make it.

I am kinda torn what to do next... I have the Noah's Ark for Baby booklet from Leisure Arts that is just screaming for me to do either the giraffe or monkey but I also want to do a baby blanket. I love toys though... :scrachin
Thanks for looking

Good job! I like the duck. I haven't worked myself up to trying anything 3-d yet.

The duck is really cute :ducky when you say it's your first :ducky do you plan on making more??:ducky

[NurseFrawg]

I don't know how soon I will make another duck. I want to try my hand at something else. I did learn a few things on this though. I didn't use the yarn the pattern called for and his bill ended up a little ummm Mick Jagger-ish:eek . I am just so happy with little A.B. and I am very excited:2blush about all of the nice comments that are being made.

Thank you all...

Well done, Elizabeth! I haven't worked my way up tp anything 3-D yet. (Where's the chicken smilie?) I like his variegated body, too, gives him some distinction. Patty

Your duck is simply adorable and AB is the perfect name for him! (Alton Brown is my favorite Food Network person!)

I like the verigation on him, it's cute!

[kariholtz]

Cute!!!!

[Kimberly]

He is very cute! I have to say that I have no clue who Alton Brown is - I see that he is on the Food network which explains why! That's not exactly a channel they offer over here in Belgium!! :lol

[DeAnna]
