A New Year and a Vintage (Knitted) Chicken // Casual Friday 4-01

In this first Casual Friday of 2021, I have tidbits; plans for Finish it February; a sock project knit with a construction I have previously abhorred; and a mysterious vintage pattern labeled "CHICKEN" with no picture and information on how to convert the knitted fabric into something resembling a chicken.
