Owl Jumper (Kate Davies)

I came across this gorgeous pattern for a jumper knitted in the round with a cabled yoke by Kate Davies. The pattern is for sale on her blog http://needled.wordpress.com/designs/
The cables are knitted to look like owls and I'm sooo loving it!
The wool is Rowan Cocoon and is very very soft, very fluffy and very warm :-)

I think it might just be the best thing I've made yet!

I thought I'd have a go at making these. I've made gloves before and swore never to do it again, but that was before I'd discovered 4" double points needles, which makes knitting in the round less like handling a porcupine and more like fun :-)

I'm loving making these as I can take them anywhere, and the wool is exciting as you never know what colour it's going to come out next!



The only problem is I started them at the same time as a my new cardigan, and I want to finish that first.. which means these might be on hold til next year :-(
