Knitting seems to be coming to me in fits and starts at the moment. It’s great when the nights are darker because you don’t need as much light for close work as you do for embroidery. But I’m impatient by nature, and I want to see results fast. So o w l s was just the perfect pattern for me.
Look at those guys, all lined up and waiting for a field mouse to pop his innocent little head out. This jumper inspired me to wear trousers to work for the first time in years, so that nothing detracted from the gorgeousness of the pattern.
This was knit in chunky and took me the weekend, then a couple of evenings finishing off and sewing on buttons. A lot of buttons. But worth it. So worth it.
Now I’m scouring Ravelry for a new knitting project. The bug just may be biting again x
That’s gorgeous! So gorgeous that it makes me want one too!
So adorable. I’ve been wanting to make that pattern since it came out, but I’m on a self-imposed yarn diet. I love the color!
wow… so beautiful! I want to try that! I think those buttons for the owl eyes work so perfect!

that is absolutely lovely!
I keep seeing that jumper popping up on blogs and love it every single time! You must be a fast knitter – it takes me weeks to knit a basic baby jumper so I think this one could be a little beyond me…
thank you! the joys of 6mm needles Laura – try it, i promise you’ll love it!
That is such a clever use of cables!!
