Whimsical Knitting
A new story by Michelle Edwards

Knit Wise Owl Toy

For Pete's sake, have some fun.

Yarn

This is Barkcus the dog (click for free pattern). He was so quick/easy to make. I used Vanna yarns in similar colors. He's just the right size for Aidan, my one year old great nephew, to carry around.

This jacket (click for paid pattern) was crocheted by me with the assistance of all the wonderful crocheters who participated in the Crochet-Along, which started earlier this month. It was the best thing I have ever gotten myself into, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge. It was a great learning experience and I am very proud of the final product.
