Owlets Everywhere

they're dooone!



Well, almost. I still need to add some button eyes but I officially have two owlet sweaters knitted, blocked and wearable. Now I just need some babies to fill them!
I had originally planned to just knit a sweater for my little one due early next year but they are just so stinking adorable, I couldn't resist knitting one for my little 1 year old niece.
They were such fun, fast little projects. Of course there are still little slip-ups here and there but let's hope no one can see them but me!



Yarn Used: Misti Alpaca Tonos Worsted (on closeout here)
Three hanks was enough for both sweaters (knitted in 6 and 12 month sizes) with enough left over for another small project (maybe ear warmers).

Pattern: Owlet by Kate Davies (available for purchase here)

Owlet Sweater Love

Omg babies. This blogger is officially creating life! ...It's not as magic as it sounds, I promise. Beyond, you know, the joys and wonderment of motherhood and all that, do you know how many awesome baby knits I get to do now!?

For way too long I have had an unhealthy interest in this adorable owlet sweater by Kate Davies.

I know, it's just too much.

While it goes against my general distaste for buying patterns I just could not resist the very reasonable $7 price tag for this sweater pattern. Bonus: also available in adult size.

What patterns are striking your fancy these days?
