| Valentine Owl |
I also need to apologise for not being round much, but as you may remember I was on jury service last week (and this week coming), and I was fairly incommunicado. The good new is I took my small pair of wooden knitting needles in, so I could knit when I was in the waiting room. I'm also hoping to try and visit all the lovely blogs on this week's Handmade Monday and see what everyone has been up to.
My 'Ta-dah!' this week is Valentine Owl. I had this idea buzzing around in my head, so early one morning I had to do something about it! It involved me drawing lots of lines on a page from an old exercise book, and then counting and rubbing out, and redrawing and knitting and then re-knitting, until Valentine was finished. I'm really pleased with him, and when Pickle-Lily went 'aww' I knew it had worked!
Have a good week!
He sure does work. Brilliant. I am on jury service in November and have already begun to plan what projects to take with me!
ReplyDeleteHe's incredibly cute, isn't he? He definitely works!

ReplyDeleteHello! I've just visited your site via Homemade Monday - I've just put up my first link. I love your owl - my best friend is obsessed with owls so I'll be sure to point her in the direction of your site so that she can have a look.
ReplyDeleteOh he's gorgeous. Glad to hear your brave enough to knit in public. Hope your week goes well.

Your owl looks very friendly and perfect for Valentines' day. I used to have a collection of owls. I wish now I still had them.

He's gorgeous! Kudos to you for making up your pattern - that's the bit I find most difficult (and in many instances, impossible!!) Hope jury service isn't too much of a drag; I've never done it but my old colleagues inform me that there is A Lot of waiting - looking forward to seeing what next week's waits bring ;)
ReplyDeleteOo, i'm so envious you have a 'transportable' hobby to keep you occupied.
ReplyDeleteawwwwww! quite clearly you share my love of owls - so cute!! :) xx
