Guinea fowl

This guy is more stylized than my usual, but I just couldn't resist the mix of bold colors and silly chicken expression. The spotted body was a challenge because I'm only used to color changes of the "drop one color/pick up the other" kind, not to holding both strands simultaneously. And in crochet the two colors can't go to separate hands as in Fair Isle knitting. Next time, I should get a yarn guide.

Pattern by June Gilbank, the finished guinea fowl is available in my Etsy shop.
