Finished my first chick from the six coasters last night. Managed to do him in a week so should have the others done well before Christmas! Well chuffed with him :D Can anyone think of a name for him? Remember there will be six altogether three boys and three girls :wink:

They are lovely!! So so sweet. What a great present they are going to be.

Can I make a suggestion? I may be wrong but on some it looks as if some of the stitches top bars are going in the other direction to the others. It tends to look neater if the top bars all face the same way, though I have to say yours look very neat anyway! I could be wrong, just that's what it looks like on the last picture.
