A Little Blue Owl.

My obsession with knitting owls continues. It's been a year long love affair at this stage. It is just such a quick and easy pattern to knit and the owls are just so adorable. Here is the pattern in case you'd like to give it a try and knit a little owl for yourself.

Once again, thanks to Conor Barry for the photos. They are so very wonderful. Thank you for looking like an oddball putting a knitted owl in trees and taking pictures for the sake of my blog. You are awesome!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend and enjoying a lazy Sunday!

Hoot Hoot. Hoot Hoot. Owl Family.

I like owls a whole lot. I think they may just be the animals that I like the most. Sloths would be the closest competition. However, it is incredibly hard to find a good knitting pattern for a sloth. As such, I knit many owls! They are very cute.

If you would like to knit one of these owls, you can find the pattern here. It is incredibly easy and very fast too. Just how I like my knitting patterns!

My sister Clare even adapted the pattern to make a baby owl. It is quite adorable indeed. Now we have a whole family of owls residing on our bookshelves. Hoot Hoot!

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend! Have a wonderful week.

Hoot Hoot! The Owls Have Arrived.

I woke up one morning to find a little posse of owls residing in the small forest in my home. I was not quite sure where they came from or why they chose me but as they are quite adorable, I didn't dare question it...

However, after a little while of living with me and bringing me happiness, the little Owlets, Frederick, Esme and Eliza told me that they would soon have to spread their little wings and fly off to other lands. They needed my help to do this.

So I parceled them up in lots of cuddly tissue paper and brought them to the local post office and sent them off to the special people in my life who would appreciate their fluffy company!

Esme is now in Dublin, Ireland. Frederick is now in Nuremburg, Germany. Eliza is now in Swansea, Wales. I think they are all very happy in their new homes.

If you would like to create your own owl posse, you can find the pattern on The Knitting Pony. Melina creates such wonderful things. Be sure to check out her blog for inspiration and ideas!

Gary Sundt took the photos for me. Such a wonderful friend and photographer!

Happy 2012 everyone. May it bring you all love and light.
