Two Knits and a BobCat

This bobcat and baby were right outside the fence the other day! Ella was very curious. The link here: bobcat, shows a better picture of one. These two roam the wash behind the house and sometimes are where I walk Ella in the morning. Quite scary up close! Not too bad with a fence in between!

The Oldest's new Winter hat. He picked out the yarn himself. {sorry it's sideways, didn't realize until ituploaded} I did follow the pattern as written, but when he tried it on, it was way too big, as it lenght-wise. So...I did what any knitter would do, I ripped back to where it would fit him, and re-did the decreases for the top. Fits him better and works great under his bike helmet in the mornings when he rides to school.

And my Owl sweater! I love this. It looks more pink here, but it's actually red. I did make the s/m size, I wanted it not as fitted and the sleeves, of course, are longer. I tried to put a hood on it, but didn't like the way it was looking, so I made it per the pattern.
More pictures to follow (most likely tomorrow)!

You have been a very busy knitter. I love the owl sweater. Is it still cold there? It has been in the 50's here.

Well, it's been in the low to mid 60's here--cool for me! Cool enough to wear my sweaters!

I love that owl sweater!
Also, impressive bobcat. Round here, the best we get is raccoons and the occasional coyote/deer.

Love your owl sweater! Brings back memories of the owl vests I used to make for my boys. I sewed googly eyes on the owls...very cute :) That was a LONG time ago as my baby is almost 16 yo ;)

happy knitting :)
