Pen-Gwynn and Yellophant

I recently took up crocheting specifically to make this penguin. I first found the little guy on the cover of a Joann's mail flyer, and I thought to myself, "wow! he is really cute. I'd like to make that one day", but that was the last I thought of it.

A few weeks later, I was at the book store perusing through various magazines where I came across this same penguin in an add for Lion Brand yarn... well, short story shorter: you can down load the pattern for the penguin here, along with a ton of other cute things to make at lionbrand.com. I was super excited to find the pattern, but then I actually read it and I realized I didn't understand one thing it said.

So I learned how to crochet; yay for me! and now our home is filled with 2 more toys...
