3/15 – finished body, this time added face before finishing.

3/17 – cast on tail

3/18 – finished tail

3/22 – made arms, feet & comb. assembled & finished. (knit arms, feet, and comb with #5 needles.)

Trying the knit cast-on! Going with a size bigger than the pattern in the hope of getting a more “open” feel.

1/8 – doing a single row of purl instead of the 3 rows garter between the YO/K2tog in the pattern. I think it’s turning out that I’m knitting it inside-out, essentially.

1/9 – I’m pretty sure that I twisted the join. :\ Since it’s a cowl, I think it’ll be ok.

Didn’t make it quite as long as the pattern called for, but VERY pleased with the results. A nice simple repeating pattern, great for working while sick, and went nicely with this yarn.

Gift for L for her birthday, tried to make them as much like my favorite blue-brown mitts as possible.

Very pleased with this pattern. Nice simple hat, and the owl cables are adorable. It’s way too huge on me, which means it should fit the intended recipient just right. 🙂

Did some of the knitting with magic loop, especially the decreases. My first time blocking a hat on a dinner plate, which helped a lot. Wish I’d made it a bit bigger/floppier, but I was nervous about running out of yarn. Even so it’s very comfy.

CO 20 st, 2×2 rib, changing colors every 4 rows, at least so far. Just a little something simple to keep my hands busy in meetings.

finished as a little cowl on a sick day.
