You could just do button eyes for one owl -- it would be a more subtle look.<br /><br />Bummer about the sizing, though...Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122120372734286698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146884114140840573.post-34760205926986567062012-02-24T08:46:43.285-05:002012-02-24T08:46:43.285-05:00Bummer that it's too tight.

I agree that the tweedy yarn is probably the cause of the little owls not standing out. It just goes to show how important it is to choose the right yarn to start with - and it doesn't matter howl long you've been knitting we've all had one of those disasters! Hope it doesn't put you off trying the pattern again- Kate's designs are beautiful and I am considering making an owlet for myself at the moment if only I had the time!<br /><br />Happy Knitting<br />Fleur xxFleur Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494664647481875838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146884114140840573.post-17287753540700937652012-02-21T20:44:02.624-05:002012-02-21T20:44:02.624-05:00I like the knitting a lot and I'm sure it will...I like the knitting a lot and I'm sure it will work for a special kiddo somewhere. I knit a whole sock yarn sweater for my 9 year old and then she didn't like it - even after she picked the yarn! So I know what you mean. But I think the owls are super cute.Clea Stagnittihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386735504477316718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146884114140840573.post-90836254935907788612012-02-21T14:53:12.300-05:002012-02-21T14:53:12.300-05:00I'd go with buttons to match the color of the ...I'd go with buttons to match the color of the sweater and then I think it would all blend nicely.

Just finished my boy's sweater (after languishing since the fall) and he'll barely get any wear out of it. :( Good excuse to knit another, right?<br /><br />I agree with the above poster - use one set of buttons for eyes. I'm in awe that you sewed on all those buttons! :)<br /><br />I like your tweedy owls - cozy!knit one, knit twohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043204315202185168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146884114140840573.post-37411750496168729782012-02-21T12:02:30.727-05:002012-02-21T12:02:30.727-05:00What about putting the buttons on just one of the ...What about putting the buttons on just one of the owls? Somewhere near the shoulder? I think that would look a lot more tailored. And I LOVE the colour of that yarn!Stripeyspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921205518172694054noreply@blogger.com
