Yep, owls! It’s amazing what a Saturday devoted to knitting can accomplish. I needed a rest after a grumpy and scattered week — let’s just say the transition back from an insufficient though lovely October break did not go smoothly — and thus declared Saturday a Day Off. I knit, revelled in the EcoWool, watched Netflix instant television, ate Halloween candy. And repressed the fact that I have a make-up seminar to attend in, oh, about an hour.
There are still a few ends to weave in and a good blocking wouldn’t hurt. Not to mention some button eyes. But the best news: EcoWool is apparently an inexhaustible source of wooly goodness! I have about a skein and a quarter leftover … perhaps Stripes! will become a reality a bit sooner than I thought?

So, so cute! I absolutely love the owls in that dark shade of charcoal. Sounds like a great way to spend a Halloween Saturday. Eco Wool is awesome!
BTW, a make-up seminar on a Sunday? What sick, twisted mind dreamed that up. Not even Poe could imagine such a thing.
Then again, we once held an extra seminar meeting (Latin epigraphy and paleography) just for fun! And it was fabulous.

Hey! That’s awesome! I’ve been doing a lot of knitting lately too, and it’s such a great break. I’m glad to see Owls all good looking and almost finished!

the Owls is wonderful. There were a TON of them at Rhinebeck this year. I love the pattern. What sort of eye treatment will you do?

Congrats on finishing the sweater. The owls really pop from the background. What color eyes will they have?
Once I finish up my Christmas knitting, I can revel in Eco Wool again when I get back to my Hemlock Ring. I’m only using 3 balls of Eco Wool and I hope it will be exceedingly large.
