Coo… Coo… ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! It’s Halloween (my favourite day of the year) and for your viewing pleasure I have convinced my fibre-feathered friend, Cooey the Pigeon (star of my Stitch London book) to take part in a handmade Halloween gallery.

If you fancy making your own Cooey and treating her abominably there’s a free Knit the Pigeon kit in the front of every copy of the Stitch London book. The kit contains everything you need to make a Cooey of your own. You’ll have to provide your own blood, guts and dangly eyeball though.
I’d love to see pics of the horrific adventures of your own purly pigeons too. Feel free to upload them to Planet Whodunnknit to share them with the world.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! V-e-r-y brilliant! I am posting something off very soon that Cooey definitely should NOT get too close too…may result in another yarny death! :-/
Oooo. Intriguing. And more yarny death is always a win. π
bwahahhaha! Poor Cooey! love it though.
Cooey is fine. She loves a bit of dramatic acting. π
If I had to pick, “Death by Unexpected Beaded Squid” would be the way to go.
Me too! π
Best thing EVER! (I am deeply ashamed of you, missus.)
Awwwwww. Shucks. Fanks! π
Haha that’s brilliant! Lovely ginger moggy, although not of handsome as mine of course (biased) π
Which one? I have two ginger moggies. Both would say they’re handsomer than all other ginger moggies. Gingers are so vain. π
Two ginners in one household must make for crazy times! I do like the one whose head comes off Russian doll style, but I think my cat would say that he was more handsome. He’s quite similar to the one with darker, more distinctive markings so they’d definitely be rivals!
Cat face off!
FACE! http://www.flickr.com/photos/33751400@N06/3229692738/in/set-72157613018280298/
AGH!
I almost experienced death by laughter. Thanks for the sacrifice Cooey.
Cooey would thank you if she wasn’t so busy sewing her guts back in. π
Great stuff, Deadly! I laughed out loud at all, but my favorite was by psychedelia. And in 10 seconds on full power. And by thud. And by divine intervention. And by parallel parking. I liked all deaths, really.
Thanks. I aim to kill knitted pigeons to please. π
I love this series to death!
A love of knitted pigeon death is a beautiful thing. π
My eleven-year-old son (whose sense of humor is a bit dark) loved your pictures, and I have to admit I did, too. Very clever.
LOLALOT π thanks π
My immortal pigeon and I are glad you liked it. π
LOL awesome, poor Cooey, happely it’s still alive, the magic of wool.LOL
thanks for the sharing.LOL
