A Penguin Study

What cute penguins! ^^

Wow, what a difference one hook size makes! You've inspired me to remake my first project next year and see the difference (I only started a couple of months ago!).

I think the difference is so obvious because I had the technique wrong. The redo was fun.

What a great job you did. Can't wait to see more of your work. :->

Oh, isn't it interesting to see the difference that hook size and technique make in a project?! I love them both! The momma isn't as refined as the baby, but she's adorable! And has a lot of personality! You should be proud of both! :-)
