I’m a bit obsessed with penguins at the moment!
I saw the John Lewis advert last week (the beginning of November for heaven’s sake, far too early…but adorable all the same!)
…and in a parallel universe I would definitely have a pet penguin, Higgins would love a little friend.
However, it got me thinking about making something a bit different this year for my stall at the Two Rivers Trail Festive Fair. With that in mind I’ve made some needlefelt penguins and I thought I’d drop in here for some opinions…
So here’s my little Penguin Party…
And the question is, do I or don’t I add little knitted scarves, and would they be better with or without a hanger for the tree? I’ve thought about too much and need a second opinion! What you think?
And finally thank you you for the lovely comments after my last post. It’s so good to know you enjoy calling in to Planet Penny. Higgins, as always, is basking in the admiration of his fans (and really doesn’t want to play second fiddle to some silly penguins!) Back soon…x
I like them the way they are. Very cute.
No scarf – they don’t really have a noticeable neck. Just cute as they are.
I think they look perfect as they are!
No scarves, they look cute as they are. If you add a hanger, I think it would be best in black and then it would blend in when not in use. These are to die for though, just gorgeous 🙂
Perfect as they are.????
I love to drop by and have a read whether it’s new or not ????
Penny they are great. I agree with fiddlyfingers, if you put a loop on black so it blends if they are not hung up.
Wonderful! I love them as they are but they would look great with scarves or beanies too! Why not do some of each then they will take on individual characters!
I sold penguins for years here – I’d say half with hangers and half without and I always had a needle and suitable thread to add one in an instant if needed:) I don’t think those need scarves either – they are really adorable just as they are!

I think they are great as is! I also agree that a matching hanger would be nice.
Those penguins are awesome and little scarves would look very cute indeed xoxo
You are so on trend Penny 😉
I agree with those that said – no scarves and option of with and without hangers.
Good luck! They’ll fly off your stall… oh, penguins can’t fly… flap, waddle…
Hi Penny! These are so cute – no need for scarf – I like they look like in nature. For the hanging, perhaps both as knutty knitter said. x Teje
Great penguins. First thought is a scarf.
So Penny, I would concur with most of your readers, no scarves. But i would say a matt gold hanger would look more splendid and festive. I’m sure they will sell really well.

I think that although they are cute as they are, I would like to see them in a red scarf. Sorry.
Thank you for a lovely easy to read blog.
