What was your inspiration?

saw the pattern in a craft magazine and thought it looked like the Madagasgar penguins

What are you most proud of?

how smooth I finally got the yarn around the egg shape

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

to get the yarn smooth around the egg start wrapping from the small end and then as you get about 3/4 of the way down start using straight pins to keep the yarn in place until you come back around then keep moving the pins until you are finished. I also used tacky glue to help hold it but the pins helped more than the glue. Would be a great project for kids if the adults put the yarn on first and the kids could do the rest.
