Peeps and Chubby Chirps

Adorable Peeps and Chubby Chirps were part of the Easter gift for my grandchildren a few years ago.

The Peeps were crocheted (click here for pattern) and the Chubby Chirps were knitted (pattern is here)

I was challenged by the Chirps as it was my first time with double pointed needles but managed to finish them.  Now I have taken DPN classes and understand how to use them....in fact I love using DPN's.

Hope you will also enjoy looking at the original post, Chirps, Peeps and Pancakes......

There is always a reason to create!

Chubby Chirps, Peeps and Pancakes

I saw the cute Chubby Chirps while browsing one day on some linky parties and decided to start making them about a week before we went to England.  The pattern by Rebecca Danger was on a Ravelry page.  I had  never used double pointed needles before and it took quite some time to find the tutorials that I could follow.  I ended up using one from Very Pink  that I found on YouTube.

 I am very slow and ended up finishing them at night while we were visiting my daughter Jessica (who most of you know as Sunny Stitching) and her family in Surrey, Thorpe England.  Then I decided to also make a couple of the cute Peeps that I had seen on Hanni's wonderful blog. 

Finished them all the night before Easter morning.....it was so fun to see Evie and Canaan open their Easter gifts that were in their baskets.

Happy Easter from the Chirps and Peeps!

Want to make mention the fantastic fun breakfast Jessica made.....Rabbit Pancakes!!!

Yesterday, Jessica said they were playing house with their dolls and the Chirps and Peeps so I think they did like them!

It was a joyful morning!
