Mother Hen and Chicks

March 10, 2011

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends!

Spud & Chloë at the Farm is now available! Pre-orders are being shipped right now. That is always exciting to hear. I’ve had lots of people asking how much yarn they would need to knit the entire book of 13 projects, sort of as a complete kit. I now have that information for you.

The amount of yarn to knit the entire Spud & Chloë at the Farm collection:

Color         # Hanks

Sweater:
Toast                   3
Firecracker         3
Splash                 2
Ice Cream           7
Root Beer           3
Watermelon      1
Firefly                  2
Pollen                  2

For the buckets (small amounts needed):
Grass                   1
Popsicle              1
Moonlight          1

Fine:
Tutu                     1
Sassafras             1

Outer:
Cornsilk                2

This project is Mother Hen and Chicks. It is one of my favorites. Mother Hen is hollow inside, like a hat sort of. Her chicks can all nest right underneath her. The half egg shells are also removable. This chicken-loving set is perfect for lots of hide and seek and interactive play. Mother Hen and her chicks are knit up in Spud & Chloë Sweater in Ice Cream and Firefly with little bits of Firecracker and Pollen for the crown and beaks.

Your local yarn shops should be getting the books orders from their book distributors very soon (if they don’t have it on order go ahead and ask about it!) and online orders are being shipped starting yesterday. It is always an exciting time when a new book is released. Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and to those of you who waited until the book was available, thank you as well.
