Such a great pattern. I was daunted by stranded colourwork for years until I attempted another Say Little Hen pattern (the Nordic Christmas Mouse) about six years ago. The detailed instructions in that pattern made it such a great introduction to a new technique (with which I quickly became obsessed). The Peckish the Hen pattern is similarly approachable for a knitter new to colourwork. The instructions are detailed and really clear. Like, admirably clear. I wish everyone wrote patterns with this level of clarity. It was fun to knit and I learnt a new stitch (the purlwise cable cast-on which really does give a very nice neat edge) with the help of the instructional video that comes with the pattern. Peckish is super cute, knits up in an afternoon, and I am now at risk of flooding my family and friends with little woolly chickens :-)
