Cheese
I finished "Cheese".
It's a quick knit, especially if you do most of it in the round as I did. The body, head (don't forget to stuff before decreasing!), and legs can be done in the round - the tail too, if you use the i-cord method.
The best part was the arms. The elbows are cleverly constructed back and forth in short rows like a sock heel, then the rest can be joined and finished in the round. I think they look exactly like chicken drumsticks!
For my next project... my sister nixed the pillow covers. I'm quite grateful she let me know, instead of quietly accepting the finished items and never using them. It's just as well, as I have a few things to knit for my son's friend who moved far, far away last fall.
