and of course,

Anyone who knows me knows there is more than one project on the needles. I did just finish these two adorable little owls, gifted to my grandkids with some books about owls. Love Owls were designed by Madison, Wisconsin artist Susan B. Anderson, who specializes in hand knit animals, toys and figures. I think mine came out showing a bit of attitude – I’m ok with that!

Also in progress, a squishy warm sweater, Glenbarrow, by Irish designer Carol Feller. I’m working this in a scrumptious teal blue (a bit greener than shown in the photo, but when it is finished, I will try to take a better picture.)

And, a pair of socks, always! These will be Powerscourt Waterfall Socks by KnittyMelissa on Ravelry.

Are there ore? Yes! But that’s all for now.

What’s on the needles?

There’s always something – actually more than one or two or sometimes even three somethings. Today I will focus on the new shawl I began last week called Winter Lights, by super knit-wear designer Stephen West of Amsterdam. I am knitting with one of my favorite yarns, Yummy 2-Ply by Miss Babs in four colors: peppercorn, dark parchment, adobe and a dark blue. I am knitting along with a group on Ravelry as a Hibernation KAL (knit along).
