Owlet

Success!  Did Elise have a new sweater to wear to Greenfield Village?


You bet!

 Did we have a blast?

 For Sure!






The sweater went so fast, probably about 4-5 hours of work.  I would have liked to put buttons all the way around, but I didn't have the time or the buttons.  I will try to go out on a button search later this week.  I am a fan of the small purple buttons I did have, maybe I can find more?

Pattern:  Owlet by Kate Davies

    She's the cutest! Those eyes.... could they be any bluer?

    Well done on getting your Owlet turned out so quickly! It's a knitting victory!

    Oh such a great sweater, and your little girl is just adorable!

    I made Owlet for a grandson last winter, and he loved it. He's a big owl fan -- must be Harry Potter, you think? And the pattern is brilliant, isn't it?

    Blessings,

    I have this pattern. I have a question....what was your pattern for the shorter sleeves? I had wanted shorter sleeves and yours look great!

    When I grow up I want to be able to stitch like you do! You are awesome! Any hints as to how to keep stitches looking the same? Your items look so good and even whereas my stuff looks "homemade".

    PS your baby is darling!

    I have had this on my list of things to knit for an age. If I thought I could get it made in 5 hours, or even 10 I would cast on tonight!! It looks lovely with the shorter sleeves
