I have recently been admiring 'Owls'. I have been noticing knitted owls, crocheted owls, some beautiful fabric owls and applique owls. I have bought Greetings cards and wrapping paper with adorable 'Owl' designs. I am not sure what style you would call them. 'Folk Owls?' 'Arts and Crafts Owls?' 'You Catch My Drift Owls?' I wanted to make a 'Crocheted Granny Stripe Owl'. This is my second attempt. I whipped her up this morning. It is amazing how much mess one little owl can make, I have yarn ends and buttons all over the place. I do think she is rather cute though. I tried to write the 'pattern' as I went along so will attempt to post that later.
I have a big owl made out of the bottom of an oil drum on my house wall outside so I am with you about owls! However, it became a problem as they started appearing as gifts from everybody and anybody and some/most were horrendous. So my love of owls has had to go underground!
ReplyDeleteLove yours though!
Kindest Regards Linda
awwww so cute! Makes me wish I could crochet...
ReplyDeleteshe is so Adorable!!!
ReplyDeletei'm a big fan of Owly goodness.
we have a cat we call Owly - who is more grumpy than good, but we love him.
have you ever seen the 70's t.v series The Owl Service? it is pretty cool (if you like weird, spooky b&w 70's t.v type stuff like i do).
Linda my Sister in law had that too they seem to flock to you whether you like it or not. :)
ReplyDeleteHannonle I am sure we could teach you to crochet. Linda's Blog has some great tutorials. My Nan had me practicing a chain for ages until the hook felt comfortable and I built up speed. Your knitting is great. :)
That’s quite true Lucy. One owl we were given is particularly hideous - painted black with demonic yellow eyes. It lives outside!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if your Mum is starting to feel the same way about crystals … ?

This is a beauty! Great work. I made one years back at school in makramee, that knotting technique.
ReplyDeleteDo you know the owl sweater/mittens?
