Ohh how the winter winds howl while I knit a midnight Owl.....

Autumn and winter are great knitting seasons, is there anything better than sitting indoors with hot tea and cookies while the wind tries to blow the last couple of leaves off the trees?

Our family got a new member in November - meet Gulliver, the midnight hooter.....




 
The pattern is from Purl Bee and can be found here. I was the lucky owner of a couple of skeins of Yabba from Hjertegarn and scraps of Eskimo from DROPS in matching colours - a true stashbuster :-)

Gulliver takes up a total of 179,7 yards of yarns a full plus-size filling. It was a quick, fun, easy knit that is just loveable - Soft and huggable.

Also - a romper is on its way to Sweden for dear little Alfred......

The pattern is from Kreativ Strik - a Danish knitting magazine - and I have been wanting to do this project for the longest time. Finally the right yarn found its way to my stash - Asland Trends Glaciar Del Cielo - an absolutely gorgeous cotton, that I bought on sale at Little Knits




This little cutie took up a neat 561,7 yards.... Which brings November's total at a 1165.6 yards......
