Comments (0) This cute little hat (Rav link) was knit for Vivienne, whose parents Lisa & Brian will get to meet in just three short weeks!
It was an easy, fairly quick knit. The only mods I made were to add a few more flowers on top and only use five leaves instead of six.
The only downside of this uber cute pattern? Weaving in all the ends…
I know I haven’t posted about my China socks yet or the cute hat I knit over the last Wedding Weekend Whirlwind trip two weeks ago, but I don’t have pictures of those yet and I am just LOVING how my owls sweater turned out so much that I had to share!
This sweater was designed to be very close fitting, but I purposely fiddled with my gauge and incs/decs to make it a more roomy pullover but still have some shaping. (Yes, Celeste is still a total camera hog.)
I lucked out by finding the perfect color buttons, but it wasn’t until I sat down to sew them on (all 32!!) that I discovered I liked the backs even more than the fronts. The backs are a bit more subtle, but still catch the light.
Hooray for owls!!
Happy 3 Week Birthday, Little Man!

I was finally home during daylight hours today to have The Canadian snap some photos of my finished Vivian…
Well, I finally found the missing skein of yarn.
Holy long arms, Batman! Apparently I did one too many pattern repeats on each sleeve. At least I’m consistent, right?
Well, never fear, the lovely Ms GFunk came to the rescue over some delicious coffee and fresh squeezed lemonade at Birchwood Cafe. We devised a most excellent plan for recovery. There was just one little thing to overcome.
Using scissors. On my knitting. Oh crap.
I finished my Monkey Socks a few weeks back and finally got around to blocking them.
They fit wonderfully and will be great to wear once the weather cools off a bit.
(I’ll keep my MN summer for now, thanks!)
Well, I have ten rows left on the hood of my Vivian sweater.
And I’m out of yarn.
