Spring is definitely here (cough, sneeze, rub your eyes), and I hope that you are enjoying a little front porch knitting like I am! With the arrival of April, I'm counting down the days to my weekend in Montgomery, Alabama at the Festival of Alabama Fiber Arts (April 25 & 26), where I will be teaching a class called Mastering the Magic Loop. Of course a festival on the horizon also means new color ways to dye and goodies to make up. Speaking of goodies, these little guys will be making their debut at the festival with me.
I hit upon this idea recently, what with all the to-do about owls and mustaches and such everywhere I go (plus I have a 10 year-old daughter who soaks up trendy like nobody's business!). These little HOOTS are about 2.5 high by 3 inches long, are hand knit and hand sewn (by me), and fiber-filled. They make a cute addition to book bag zippers as well as being a unique key chain.
Quick to make, I've made up about 6 in the last 2 days. Rocket is already trying to talk me into making them for gifts for friends and teachers, as well as a collection to put on her own backpack, purse, etc. After the festival, these will make it into my Etsy shop, but if you feel you desperately need one, get in touch and we'll work something out.
