I got my batteries back today and finally managed to take some pics of the Owls jumper.
Note: I took the pics and then decieded to block it. And I’m kicking myself for not blocking it before because I think it grew a bit. And was heck of dirty. I guess that’s what happends when you knit with your ball of wool rolling around on the floor.
Gross.
So if there is any significant difference post-blocking, I’ll take a few more snaps.
I really like the lenght of it. I started my waist decreases about half an ince from the ribbing, then did like two inches before starting the increases. I did two back increases and then moved the increases to the side to avoid that ‘poofy back’ that freaked me out so much on Ravelry. But then I kinda forgot I had boobs and did only 4 increases instead of a few more. Hoepfully the blocking will fix that.
I also just realised that with Kissmas soon approaching, this blog is going to be pretty devoid of updates/pics since it’s now high x-mas pressie making time. But whenever I slip a wee something in for myself, I’ll make sure to post that.









That is too cute, and I really like it in the cream colour. I’m going to make a big felt turkey for you to stick on it for T-day! Convince Claudia to come along, too!!!
I think it came out really really well
Are you going to sew in little beads or something for the eyes?
I have no idea! I went out ages ago and bought like 3,000 beads (got a little excited about beads at the shop) but now I don’t know if I can be bothered about… we’ll see…

Its hard not to get excited about beads
Maybe you could just do it on one or two of the owls as a feature?
By the way – i’ve decided to award you the Neno’s blogging award! http://ballatrina.blogspot.com/2009/11/share-love-award.html
Wow! That came out great! Glad the mods worked for you.
Isn’t it ridiculously cozy? I need to redo mine. The part after the Owls is completely botched, but it knits so fast, it won’t matter.
Good job!
Thanks! I totally could NOT have done this without you! x
