Itty Bitty Owl
I used this “tutowlrial”.
it took about 10 minutes to make. the longest part was cutting the pieces because there’s no pattern, so you kind of have to fudge it. I omitted the base because I’m lazy. I also didn’t want to look for any cardboard.

Baby Surprise Jacket
Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket from Knitting Workshop by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: Paton’s Classic Wool in grey mix and Elsbeth Lavold Classic AL in black
Needles: US 6 circular
for the fetus! [which, by the way, we found out is a boy! another son, guys! this is too exciting.]
I used an i-cord cast-off that took way too long, but was waaay too easy! I thought I was doing it wrong, it went so well. hah! my fetus will be 6-9 months when the weather is ready for it, so I hope it fits him, then. I may have to elongate the sleeves a bit, but that’ll be easy. I’m going to save a ball of the Elsbeth Lavold AL for when the time comes. I need to decide what buttons to use.
I got this book from my mother-in-law for Christmas. best gift! I had originally planned to dye some yarn, but I got too impatient and picked up 2 coordinating wools for this project. maybe I’ll dye that yarn someday. if the jacket seems too small, the closer it gets to next winter, perhaps I’ll knit another in a bigger size.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! 2008 is going to be great!
