I’ve been planning this ambitious design for a couple of months, and it’s finally ready: a family of Emperor Penguins! Emperors are the largest of the penguin breeds, and probably what most people think of when they hear the word penguin.

I crocheted them before I left Canada, but problems with editing on my netbook meant that I couldn’t do the patterns justice, so I made the frustrating decition to wait for my stuff to arrive […]
