Yes, It's a rooster.

The Animal Control officer seized my live rooster against my wishes in 1998 and I haven't been the same since...     

                                     

I still miss her, I mean him...

So anyhow, this is in place of the real Rudy the Rooster, for now at least.

He' s certainly not as cute as Rudy but he's alot lower maintenance and that counts for alot.

He was a pain to make, to be honest with you, but that won't stop me from making 2 more.

 I'm going to reduce the pattern size to 75 % and make a baby rooster to play with his dad.

The pattern is from one of those independent designers and it was very hard to follow.

I had to "wing" it most of the way...
