My very own...

Orchids and Fairylights!



Mom took the pale pink one, Mariska the bright red one and this one will be all mine Mwooohahahahaha!

Did one extra round of the stitch pattern and made a broader rim. This way the hat is a bit taller and can hold my hair when I wear it in a ponytail. And somehow I like my hats BIG this year. No, not so much big, but taller.



Pattern: Orchids and Fairylights by Tiny Owl Knits
Yarn: Malabrigo Merino worsted in "Pearl" colorway

I will wear this with pride trough all the Christmas cheer!

Bunny!!

I made me some warm slippers with a hugerouney cuteness factor :) Bunny slippers!!



Lookie lookie how cute! They make me smile each and every time I see them. And they have the nicest bums I have seen in a very long time:



Mika the resident cat however thinks they are intruders and keeps chasing my feet when I walk around, silly kitty. They are no threat to you what so ever. Come here and cuddle on the couch, let me stroke your furry belly for you.

Pattern: Hopsalots by Tiny Owl Knits
Yarn: Garnstudio drops Eskimo

Took me two evenings to make. Count one extra for letting them dry. I choose to sew the ears to the main body of the slippers since I have a tendency to fall over my own two feet and don't need big floppy ears to make me land on my teeth thank you very much.

Intercontinental owlie meet up?

My online knitting buddies and me are exploring the ideas of meeting :)

How great would it be to hug it out real time?! Too bad teleporters aren't invented yet.

So far the plan is:

Me going to Stockholm to meet up with Britta between Xmas and newyears.
Prairigirl coming to the Netherlands in March to meet up with me and see the place her dad came from.
All of us going to Scotland when Fiona is there (marchish), to drink and make glitters :)

And maybe do some knitting and for sure go on a yarn shopping spree!

Oh, I hope it will become reality! I could decide not to go very far this summer and spend that money on going places where owlie hugs can be had!
And tie up my hammock on a sunny place all summer long and think up new knitting patterns for you all to enjoy!
