So last Knit Night me and one of my girls were talking about Chubby Chirps (I can't even remember why at this point). Somehow we came up with the idea of doing a Chubby Chirp on Us 13's with Cascade Magnum, which I decided was a must do. I had a half finished monster from my first book that I ran out of yarn for, so I decided it was time to pull it out and make it something else.
Pretty cool, huh? It only took about half a skein of Magnum. I put it next to one of the original Chirps so you can see how big he is.
He he! Though I have sworn off making Christmas presents for anyone (other than The Kid), this guy is destined as a Christmas gift (for someone I know doesn't read the blog, phew!). I put him up on Ravelry too if you want to know what I did.
He's a great last minute gift if you need one! (We do have at least 192 hours to Christmas. You could get a whole flock done in that amount of time!)
Rebecca! I wish I could buy these! I cannot knit!!

Rebecca,
I am a slave to your patterns. I cannot stop making little monsters. My kids sleep with them every night. Soon my house will be infested with thousands of them. Thank you for your addictive and adorable patterns. Love your work. Best wishes.

Oh I love how cute they are, but I sure am having a hard time getting started with 8 stitches (for the wings) on DPNs without getting confused and what goes where and to ensure it's not twisted. Am I just a klutz or is there a trick to this process?

Hi Denise-
Magic Loop is a great way to cut down on the fumbly-fingers feeling of dpn's! This is also a great question to ask in the Danger Crafts group on Ravelry.
