I made Owls!




It's for my niece, and fits her very nicely, with just a little room to grow. The yarn probably isn't quite as rich a purple as it shows here, it's a little chalkier, but the eyes are slightly different, pairs in mauve, blue and pink. It was really easy and quick, although if I do it again I want to find a better way of dealing with the underarm join.

That is lovely! Excellent work!

(If you find a better way of dealing with the underarm join, do share! I've knit it twice and it was a pain both times.)

Oooh, I've liked that pattern since I first saw it, and making it for a child/young person is a great idea.

Another purple Owls! A local friend just recently finished this for herself--needing to harmonize with the ones she'd already made for daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

I haven't done this one myself yet. What didn't you like about the underarm join?

Amazing! That's on my dream queue over at Ravelry but I have so many things on that list, lol! I really like the different pairs of eyes :)
