The sheep is adorable
I love roosters and chickens!
Although I collect pigs, and feel somewhat of a traitor for not choosing the pig – the cow is just too adorable not to be featured on the cover!
Donkey all the way!
Totally cute!
All of the animals are adorable but there something ultra-cute about the cow.
All of the animals are adorable, but showing the momma chicken, the babies and the egg on the cover, will really get the knitter’s attention. Lots of projects in just one picture! How cute!
Cow or checken… a hard choice
I love the chickens. They immediately brought a smile to my face.
I love the chicken It makes me smile
Looks like a cute book.
Sheep is cute! Wish there was a llama or alpaca option!
The chicken with her baby chicks and egg is my choice, it is different and stands out more.
Chickens are great.
Too cute. It’s between the cow and the pig for me.
Thanks for all your votes! The poll is running through March so be sure to share with your friends.
May the cutest knitted farm animal win!
How could you not love the cow?
PIGGY…whee
This was hard! We have sheep and want chickens and both of the knitted animals were so cute. All of them are, but I’m partial to the sheep and chickens.
I like all of them, but the chickens are cute, and a lot of people are into raising their own chickens in their backyards now. Chickens would probably catch a lot of interest!
I love that little pink pig! Can’t wait for the book because I’m going to make him!
Although I am a collector of sheep ….I just love the hen & chick….cute.
I really like them all but to pick one, I would choose the cow.
They are all so cute, hard to pick one. I just love the donkey.
I really liked them all, but there are so many patterns around for 4-footed furry beasts that I think the hen and chicks would be more of an eye-catcher!
I look forward to the book and vote for the sheep
I pick the chicken.
It’s very cute and it is artistically appealing because red is the complementary to green.
Since they are knitted and since none of those other animals contribute to the ability to knit anything, I have to vote for the sheep!
~ I choose the Mama Hen & chick for the cover. I hope there’s a knitted llama, alpaca or goat in the book too !
The Chicken and Chick get my vote. Having them poised together makes the eye take a double look.
Cluck, cluck…it’s got to be the chickens. Usually they are in the background, but bring them to the front…let the chickens rule. By the way, did i tell you I like the chicken…hahaha!!!
the donkey
I loved the chicken, but picked the pig.
For yarn crafters it would have to be the sheep. How could we resist?
I love the donkey! I should get a free copy as it comes out on my birthday! Can’t wait! My needles are ready to clack away!
Love the chicken “family”.
With a username like mine, it had to be the hennie sorry chicken xxx
chickens!C
Team Sheep!
The chicken and the cute chick would def make me want to open this book up and check out the other adorable patterns!
All are adorable, but the donkey is a bit different that what is typically seen. Love them all, and looking forward to the book!
LOVE THE HEN
I love the cow so mooooo…ch that he or she must be on the cover. Thanks for giving me a choice to pick an animal possibly!
I love the cow but the chicken/hen is cute too.
As you can see from all the various comments, it is just too difficult to pick one. I say make smaller pics and put them ALL on the cover.Then all will be happy!!
The Cow is so cute – so I voted for the cow
the donkey is cute and different
That cow has attitude! LOVE HIM!
I think they’re all adorable, but the chicken and the yarn colours are much more eye catching for a book cover. I definitely vote for the knit chicken
Vote Donkey!!
I voted for the cow – but sure wish there had been (and maybe there is in the book) an Alpaca to vote for – hands down that would have been the best!!!!
I love the donkey!!!
