{My Creative Space} Little Owls

With all of the new babies beginning to enter the world at the moment a quick little knit that I can get on and off of the needles in a few days is always welcomed.

The Milo Vest by the talented Tikki is celebrating its birthday and Tikki often holds a little celebration for this popular design. I have slipped in with not one but two Milo's in May (more on the other one later, they both deserve there own post)

I love this pattern for its ease (the needles almost knit it themselves) and for the many options and different things that you can do with this simple pattern.  I have often done a cable pattern down the side and from memory I think that I have done almost every cable.  So for this one I though that I would use my skills of Fair Isle and add a little owl.

This one has been sent and received by friends in Brisbane who welcomed their fourth little pink bundle into the world.

Looking forward to seeing Lily in this and getting a few photos.  I also knitted a pair of longies.  For more creative spaces head over here.
