Yarn Along (and a Finished Peacock)

This week I am still reading Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen, which is the book that my new mama book club is reading. I have had a very busy week, so I haven't made it as far as I had hoped....
I am still working on Debbie Bliss' baby shorts pattern found in Essential Baby.I haven't made much progress this week, as I have mostly been focused on knitting a red birthday crown (which I will felt) for one of Finn's friends.
And, I finally finished the peacock. It's not quite as cute as I had imagined, and the pattern was actually really hard. If your mind wandered for even a minute, you could forget where you are! But, it's done, and will (hopefully) make a fun surprise for our festival outing this weekend. You can find the pattern at knittingatknoon.com.
AND, Don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY for some felted nesting bowls over at Lady of the Arts!
